| Bronze Statues - The Ethereal Majesty Of Shiva-parivar |
Bangalore bronzes are unparalleled in terms of finished
beauty. No wonder the artistic appeal of bronze as a medium, as opposed to
brass, is greater. It has a whiff of the superlative and the elite about it.
Bronze metal-sculpting is an ancient skill that developed in the Southern tip
of the subcontinent under the patronage of the Chola monarchs, and as such is
superior to brass-working or even waxes modeling. In other words it is the
perfect mixed media to cast the divine concept of Shiva-parivar in.
The much-revered Shiva
parivar comprises of His wife Parvati,
and Their 2 sons, Ganesha and Kartika. Shiva Himself takes centre stage. His
two posterior arms are holding divine weapons to battle adharma; He raises one
anterior hand in blessing, while with the other He secures the lovely Parvati
on His lap. She is also seated in lalitasana, and holds in her hand a weapon.
The harmonious, self-sufficient unit of life that they form together is
superbly expressed in the way their respective silhouettes have been made to
align with each other by the artisans. Their intricately crafted, perfectly
symmetrical crowns tower above Their heads, Their silk dhoties and ample
shringar fit for the celestial realm They belong to. Seated in union on a
layered lotus pedestal, with the graceful much-devoted Nandi sitting at the
base, they form a complete picture of blissful togetherness.

They are flanked by Ganesha
and Kartika, each of whom has been sculpted with their iconographies intact.
From Ganesha's adorable elephant head, the baby fat on His form, and the
humungous laddoo in His hand; to Kartika's radiant handsomeness and the sublime
proportions of His form. Like Their parents, their shringar is flawless and their
stance that of great benevolence and blessing. They are each on a much smaller
layered lotus pedestal, which together with Shiva-Parvati's seat are placed on
an elaborate stand decorated with petal engravings. The aureole equals it in
magnificence. The sheer detailing on each layer - the outermost wave-like
curves, followed by the twisted lotus petals, the smooth rim as if of a halo,
more twisted petals, and two rings engraved with rangoli-esque motifs - sets
this ensemble apart from run-of-the-mill enshrined Shiva-parivar statues.
