Panchaloha: The Sacred Alloy

(The five metal alloy)

Panchaloha is an ancient "five-metal" recipe that was perfected in South India around 1000 AD during the Chola Dynasty. At its simplest, it is a sacred mix of gold, silver, copper, zinc, and iron.

Master craftsmen discovered that by blending these specific metals, they could create statues that were not only incredibly strong and rust-proof but were also believed to carry a special spiritual energy.
