Temple Idol & Metal Works Services in Kumbakonam | Srishtirupikka
Our Temple Sculpture & Metal Works Services — Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu
At Srishtirupikka, every service we offer is rooted in three decades of Sthapathi artisanship from the sacred town of Kumbakonam. Whether you are consecrating a new temple, renovating a centuries-old shrine, or seeking a custom panchaloha idol for your home altar, our master craftsmen deliver work of uncompromising quality.
Panchaloha Idols
Panchaloha — the sacred fusion of five metals (gold, silver, copper, iron, and lead) — produces idols of deep spiritual potency. Our Kumbakonam artisans cast panchaloha vigraham using the traditional lost-wax (cire perdue) method, producing icons consecration-ready for temples and home shrines. Popular forms include Murugan with Valli and Deivanai, Maha Vishnu, Perumal, Ragavendra Swamy, and the 63 Nayanmargal.
- Materials: Panchaloha (five metals), Brass, Bronze
- Sizes: 6 inches to life-size
- Custom: Any deity from photograph or description
- Delivery: Pan-India & International
