6″ Perumal Set with Sridevi & Bhudevi | Handcrafted Panchaloha Idols | Polished Finish

This 6-inch Perumal set comprises three standing figures — Lord Vishnu (Perumal) at center, flanked by Sridevi and Bhudevi — each cast in Panchaloha, the traditional South Indian five-metal alloy. The set measures 6 inches in height and weighs approximately 1100 grams, giving it a solid, substantive presence despite its compact footprint.

Each figure has been individually handcrafted using traditional lost-wax casting methods that demand precise control at every stage — from the initial wax model to the final surface work. Perumal is depicted in a four-armed standing posture, holding the Sudarshana Chakra and Shankha in the raised hands, with the Kaumodaki gada and a lotus-like form in the lower hands. His crown is tiered and detailed, and the surface of his dhoti shows fine horizontal pleating rendered with consistency across the casting. Both Sridevi and Bhudevi stand in a gentle tribhanga posture on individual pedestals, their crowns and ornaments matching the level of detail seen in the central figure. The expressions across all three figures are calm and composed.

In the Vaishnava tradition, this trio represents completeness. Sridevi embodies prosperity and grace; Bhudevi embodies patience and the sustaining earth. Together with Perumal, the set reflects the theological understanding that Vishnu's sovereignty is inseparable from these two consorts — making this configuration among the most significant in South Indian temple iconography.

Panchaloha is an alloy composed of five metals — gold, silver, copper, zinc, and iron — used exclusively for devotional sculpture in the South Indian tradition. It is valued for its density, workability, and the warm golden tone it develops with polishing, which is clearly visible across all three figures in this set.

The polished finish brings out the surface detailing sharply and gives the metal a bright, warm tone. Because each idol is individually hand-finished, minor variation in surface texture, tone depth, and fine detailing is inherent to the process and expected.

This set is suited for a home puja room, a dedicated altar space, or as a considered gift for housewarmings, weddings, or religious occasions.
