Panchalogam is a traditional alloy used in South Indian temple art, composed of five metals: gold, silver, copper, iron, and lead. This alloy is highly valued for its durability and auspicious properties.

Mookambika Devi is a revered deity in Hinduism, especially in South India. She is a form of the goddess Saraswati, who represents wisdom, knowledge, and the arts. The name “Mookambika” derives from two Sanskrit words: “Mook” meaning “dumb” or “mute” and “Ambika” meaning “mother.” According to legend, the goddess Mookambika was said to have granted speech to a mute sage, thereby giving her the name Mookambika.

Swamimalai is known for its traditional bronze sculptures and temple art, which often use the lost-wax casting technique, also known as Madhuchista Vidhana. This method involves creating a wax model of the sculpture, which is then covered in a ceramic shell. Once the shell is heated, the wax melts and drains away, leaving a cavity in the shape of the desired sculpture. Molten metal is then poured into the cavity to create the final piece. This technique allows for intricate details and is highly esteemed in the crafting of religious icons.
