LOST WAX METHOD OF CASTING - The lost wax method allows for intricate and detailed sculptures to be created, capturing the artist's original vision with precision. It is a complex process that requires skill and expertise in both sculpture and metal casting techniques. Also known as precision casting, it is a technique used to create bronze sculptures and other metal objects with intricate details. The process involves creating a wax model of the object, building a mold around it using plaster and silica, melting the wax out of the mold, selecting a metallic alloy, melting the alloy in a crucible, and pouring the molten metal into the mold cavity. The molten metal solidifies in the mold, and the cast object is extracted and finished. The sprues and any excess metal are removed, and the surface is cleaned and finished through various techniques like grinding, polishing, and patination.

Vinayagar, also known as Ganapati, Ganesh, Pillaiyar, Ganesha, Yaanai Mugan is immediately recognizable as the elephant-headed god. He is the god of wisdom and learning, as well as the remover of obstacles, and consequently the sign of auspiciousness. It is customary to begin cultural events, for example, by propitiating Vinayagar, and older Sanskrit works invoked his name at their commencement.
Vinayagar is said to have written down the Mahabharata from the dictation of Vyasa. He is the lord (Isa) of the Ganas or troops of inferior deities, but more well-known as the son of Shiva and Parvati. In the most common representations of Vinayagar, he appears as a pot-bellied figure and his elephant head has only one tusk. Like most other Indian gods, he has a ‘vehicle’, in his case a rat: this rat is usually shown at the foot of the god, but sometimes Vinayagar is astride the rat.
