{"product_id":"4-panchamuki-hanuman-kneeling-super-fine-brass-polished-finish","title":"4″ Panchamuki Hanuman Kneeling | Super Fine Brass | Polished Finish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Panchamuki Hanuman idol, cast in super fine brass, stands 4.5 inches (11 cm) tall, 3.5 inches (9 cm) wide, and 3 inches (7.5 cm) deep, weighing approximately 330 g, and depicts Lord Hanuman in the five-faced form kneeling on one knee on a finely worked circular base with concentric ornamental border detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sculpture is produced using traditional lost-wax casting, a technique that allows the dense layering of iconographic detail and ornamentation across this piece to be rendered with precision and retained edge clarity throughout the composition. The figure is shown in a kneeling posture — the right knee raised, the left knee grounded — with the body held upright and the primary face of Hanuman forward-facing, carrying a composed and steady expression. Four additional faces radiate symmetrically from behind the central head, each distinct in form, together forming a tiered crown of faces topped with an elaborately worked mukuta. Eight arms extend outward from the figure, each carrying a specific attribute: a trishula, a sword, a bow, and what appears to be a discus or chakra are clearly visible, with additional implements rendered across the remaining hands. The primary front hands are held in gestures directed toward the devotee. The torso is ornamented with layered bead necklaces, a broad garland descending in relief-worked bands, and detailed surface work across the dhoti and lower body. The circular base carries concentric rings of scroll and petal motifs, cleanly resolved at every tier. Super fine brass casting is what enables this level of fidelity — multiple faces, spread arms, and densely worked ornamentation that retains sharpness across both raised and recessed surfaces simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePanchamuki Hanuman — the five-faced form — holds a specific and revered place in Indian devotional tradition. Each of the five faces is associated with a distinct deity and cardinal direction, and the form as a whole is regarded as embodying comprehensive protective power. The iconographic tradition has roots in the Ramayana, where Hanuman is said to have assumed this form during the battle at Lanka. The kneeling posture is understood as an expression of devoted readiness — strength held in service rather than in repose. Devotees approach this form for protection, courage, and the removal of obstacles rooted in fear or adversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrass, an alloy of copper and zinc, has been central to Indian devotional metalwork for centuries. It holds fine cast detail with fidelity, carries a warm tonal depth that develops with time, and is structurally durable — qualities that make it suited for both active ritual use and long-term display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis piece carries a polished finish, clearly visible in the warm bright gold tone across the figure and the strong contrast between the raised ornamental surfaces and the darker recessed areas. The finish gives the sculpture a reflective clarity that draws attention to the complexity of the five faces, the spread of the arms, and the layered ornamentation across the crown, torso, and base. Handcrafted pieces carry natural variation in surface texture and tone between individual sculptures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Panchamuki Hanuman idol is well suited for a home puja room, a personal altar, gifting on occasions such as Hanuman Jayanti or housewarming ceremonies, or as a collector's piece in classical Indian devotional sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e At Cosmic Studio, every sculpture is individually handcrafted, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. Minor variations in color, texture, and detailing are a natural result of the artisanal process and are considered marks of authenticity. These unique characteristics, along with potential differences in lighting and screen displays, may cause the product to appear slightly different from the images shown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosmic Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44058222952483,"sku":"CS-PART1-OCT-0049","price":4199.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/0448\/0547\/files\/DZ6A0049.webp?v=1792219798","url":"https:\/\/cosmicstudio.in\/products\/4-panchamuki-hanuman-kneeling-super-fine-brass-polished-finish","provider":"Cosmic Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
