Sri Swaminathan & Co · Sacred Sculpture

🕉️🔱 Om Namah Shivaya · Hara Hara Mahadeva 🔱🕉️

— Solid Cast Brass · Antique Look Finish · Seven-Hooded Adisesha · 20 cm (7.9 Inch) —


He who is beyond form, yet chosen to rest within it. This rare, two-piece solid brass Shiva Lingam — sheltered beneath a majestic seven-hooded Adisesha serpent canopy — is one of the most spiritually potent and visually commanding sacred assemblies we carry at Sri Swaminathan & Co. Cast in thick, heavy-duty brass and finished with a beautiful antique temple patina, it is built not just for display, but for a lifetime of daily worship.

The Lingam is independent. The serpent canopy lifts away completely. Two pieces. One sacred assembly. Endless ritual possibilities.


The Significance

Shiva Lingam The formless infinite — pure cosmic consciousness, absolute protection, and the dissolving of all karmic obstacles
Seven-Hooded Adisesha The primordial serpent of eternity — shields the Lingam from above, representing the seven dimensions of cosmic protection
Sacred Tilak Engraving Tripundra and third-eye mark etched on the Lingam face — a precise focal point for daily dhyana and japa

Auspicious Days for Worship & Gifting

Maha Shivaratri — The supreme annual night of Lord Shiva. Placing and honouring this heavy brass Lingam on this night invites immense protective vibrations into the home for the entire year ahead.

Pradosham Vratam — Worshipped twice every lunar month during twilight hours of the 13th day, dissolving past karmas and restoring family peace and health.

Shravan Month & Somvar (Mondays) — The holy monsoon month of Mahadev, where daily prayers at this brass assembly bring continuous prosperity, protection, and wellbeing to the entire household.


Material, Quality & Craftsmanship

Poured as thick, 100% genuine solid brass metal, the full assembly weighs a commanding 1.960 kg — exceptionally heavy for its size, completely unbreakable, and entirely temple-grade in its feel and presence.

The antique finish treatment deepens the dark shaded areas within the fine scale lines of the serpent hoods, making the raised golden brass features emerge with clean, aged realism — the characteristic look of a centuries-old temple treasure.

The intricate repeating scale carvings across the massive serpent hood — crisp on both faces — showcase traditional South Indian metal-art mastery that endures for generations.

Care & Maintenance

Simple Dusting: Clean gently once a week using a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a small dry paintbrush to clear dust from the fine snake scales and base layers without disturbing the antique shading.

Washing During Ritual: If washing with water during active pooja, avoid rough steel wool or abrasive scrubbing — these can scratch away the beautiful dark antique finish.

Drying: Always wipe completely dry with a clean towel immediately after washing to prevent white mineral water spots from forming on the polished brass surfaces.

Care & Maintenance

Made from super fine quality brass with a golden powder coated polish — gives a satin gold glow like a gold statue. Purely for decor and dry display. If used for pooja rituals, the golden polish layer will peel off over time. Keep it dry — and it will look as fresh as the day you bought it. Always.

No restrictions for pooja rituals. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve its traditional antique look. The dark patina is intentional — it deepens the beauty over time.

Powerful. Preferred for active pooja rituals — no restrictions. Traditional Cleaning Method: Use dara liquid and cashew nut seeds — an ancient method used by temple priests for generations. Gently rub with cashew nut seeds dipped in dara liquid. Rinse clean. Your idol will look brand new. Cleaning once every 30 days is recommended if used regularly for pooja.

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand this completely. You are buying online from a shop you have never visited. Here is the truth: Sri Swaminathan & Co has been standing at 61, Bakthapuri Street, Kumbakonam since 1973 — over 53 years. We are not a warehouse or a reseller. We are a family shop, rooted in Kumbakonam, where priests, temples, and devotees from across Tamil Nadu have been coming for generations. Travellers from Singapore, Malaysia, UK, and USA visit us when they come to Kumbakonam — because they know us. You can walk into our shop any day. We are real.
Because most sites sell products. We sell legacy. Every item in our shop — whether it is a small brass lamp or a 4-foot Panchaloha idol — comes from craftsmen whose families have been doing this since the Chola period. We do not source from factories. We do not compromise on material or finish to reduce price. When you buy from us, you are not just getting a product — you are getting 53 years of trust, traditional craftsmanship, and the assurance that what you receive is exactly what a devotee deserves.
This is a fair concern and we respect it. Here is why we do not offer COD — our products are handcrafted, fragile, and carefully packed for safe delivery. COD returns damage both the product and the trust. Instead, we offer something better: WhatsApp us before you order. We will send you a video of the actual product — the exact piece you will receive. You can ask us anything. Only when you are fully satisfied, you pay. Our 53-year reputation is our guarantee — we cannot afford to let even one customer down.
Not at all — and we are glad you asked this. Our products are made of brass and Panchaloha — metals that naturally catch and reflect light from every angle. What you see as dark shades or bright reflections in photos is simply the metal doing what metal does — glowing, reflecting, and shining. We photograph every product as-is, with no filters, no AI, no editing. That reflection you see in the photo? You will see the same beautiful glow when it sits in your pooja room. It is not a defect — it is the character of real metal.
Yes — and here is why we say this with full confidence. Panchaloha idols require the right alloy, the right casting method, and the right finishing — done by craftsmen who understand the spiritual significance of what they are making. Our Panchaloha idols are hand-cast in Kumbakonam and Swamimalai by hereditary artisans using the traditional lost-wax method — the same method used to make idols for consecrated temples across South India. Priests trust our idols for temple installation. Families trust us for home pooja rooms. In 53 years, that trust has never been broken.
