Design Inspiration- Kataka-Mukha Mudra (scissors face or opening in a bracelet) is the twelfth hand gesture of the 28 single-hand mudras (Asamyukta Hastas) as described in the Abhinaya Darpana. The mudra is noted in the Natya Shastra as well. According to mythology this mudra originated from Guha when he practiced archery in front of Shiva. Its sage is Bhargava, its race Deva, its color gold, its patron deity Raghu Rama

This mudra is used to show picking flowers, holding a pearl necklace or a garland of flowers, drawing a bow, offering betel leaves, preparing the paste of mask and sandal etc. by rubbing them against something, applying scent, speech and glancing.

About Craft- The Swamimalai bronze icons are made by the artists known as the ‘Sthapathis' of a small village on the banks of River Cauvery - SWAMIMALAI - located seven kms from the Temple Town of Kumbakonam. Swamimalai is famous for South Indian Bronze moorthy making, and the artisans here have been following a tradition that is several centuries old. The Highlight of the moorthy manufacture in Swamimalai is the usage of the ancient method called the Madhuchishtavidhana or lost-wax method (cire perdue) a skill passed on for generations since the Chola period. A science that finds reference in the Rig Veda & Silpa Sasthira, this age-old method spells precision, technique and aesthetics while adhering to the firmly laid down standards and principles.
