{"product_id":"divine-boga-shakthi-handcrafted-panchaloha-green-patina","title":"Divine Boga Shakthi | Handcrafted Panchaloha | Green Patina","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Boga Shakthi idol stands 3.5 inches tall and measures 1.5 inches in width and depth, cast in Panchaloha, the sacred five-metal alloy used in South Indian temple iconography for over a thousand years. The figure is seated in a relaxed posture on a tiered lotus pedestal, with one leg extended and resting at the base — a posture known as lalitasana — conveying ease and sovereign calm rather than rigid formality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idol is shaped and finished entirely by hand. The face carries a composed, gently smiling expression with finely defined features — almond-shaped eyes, a clear third-eye marking, and elongated earlobes with ornamental earrings. A tall crown rises from the head, worked with layered detail. The body is adorned with cast jewelry across the neck, arms, and waist, and the right hand is raised in a gesture that draws directly from classical iconographic convention. Achieving this level of surface articulation at this scale requires skilled hand-chiseling after the initial casting, a stage that separates genuine craft work from machine-finished reproductions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoga Shakthi is a form of the divine feminine associated with abundance, auspiciousness, and the sustaining energy underlying creation. In South Indian devotional tradition, such forms of Shakti are invoked for material well-being alongside spiritual strength, making this a theologically specific form rather than a generic goddess figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePanchaloha — an alloy traditionally composed of copper, gold, silver, iron, and lead or zinc in varying proportions — is considered ritually sanctified and has been the prescribed material for consecrated South Indian temple idols. It carries a warm, dense quality that distinguishes it from plain brass or bronze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish on this piece is an antique green patina, applied to bring out the surface relief and age the metal visually. The photograph shows the characteristic blue-green tonal variation across the raised and recessed areas. Because each piece is individually cast and finished, the precise depth and distribution of the patina will vary naturally between pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis idol is suited for a home puja room, a personal altar, or as a considered gift for someone with an appreciation for classical Indian sculptural tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Cosmic Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43634815828003,"sku":null,"price":4299.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/0448\/0547\/files\/bogashakthi_green_4.webp?v=1786212132","url":"https:\/\/cosmicstudio.in\/products\/divine-boga-shakthi-handcrafted-panchaloha-green-patina","provider":"Cosmic Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
