The legend of Meenakshi, a central figure in Tamil Hindu culture, begins with King Malayadhvaja of the Pandya dynasty. Desiring an heir, the king performed a fire ceremony, praying to the gods for a son. However, his wish was answered in an unexpected way when a daughter, Meenakshi, was born to him. Remarkably, she was born with three breasts. The gods reassured the king not to worry, telling him that Meenakshi was destined for greatness. They instructed him to raise her as a brave warrior, and when she met her true love, her third breast would disappear.

As Meenakshi grew, she proved herself a formidable warrior, conquering armies in all directions. One day, while preparing for an attack on the north, she encountered Lord Shiva, who resided on Mount Kailasha. Upon seeing Shiva, one of her breasts fell off, and the prophecy was fulfilled, symbolizing the transformative power of divine love.

The story continues with Vishnu, in the guise of Meenakshi's brother, overseeing the wedding between Shiva and Meenakshi. This divine union took place in Madurai, where the couple made their home. The divine pair, Meenakshi and Shiva, ruled Madurai as the symbolic king and queen, bringing prosperity and blessings to the city. To this day, the Meenakshi Temple in Madurai stands as a testament to their eternal rule and love.
This legend, rich in symbolism, reflects themes of divine intervention, transformation, and the cosmic balance between masculine and feminine energies, with Meenakshi and Shiva continuing to be revered as the sacred rulers of Madurai.

The Cholas, a dynasty that governed Southern India from 850 to 1250 CE, invented the lost-wax method. Chola Bronze Statues are made using this method and are used in temples for worship. Intricate metal sculptures, especially in India, are made using the centuries-old lost-wax panchaloha technique. It uses panchaloha, an alloy of five metals—gold, silver, copper, brass, and zinc—in conjunction with the lost-wax casting method.

This is a summary of the lost wax procedure used in making this statue:

1. The required sculpture is carefully created by hand using a realistic wax model. Getting the appropriate shape and fine details requires tedious shaping and carving.
2. The wax model is covered with layers of a hard substance, usually a clay-based blend. This leaves a hollow hole inside the wax sculpture, forming a mold around it.
3. When the mold is heated, the wax melts and escapes via a tiny hole. As a result, a hole remains in the original wax model's shape.
4. The mold's space is filled with molten panchaloha. As the metal cools and solidifies, it assumes the shape of the original wax model.
5. The completed metal sculpture is gently removed from the firm clay mold.
6. Following cleaning and polishing, the sculpture may be further adorned with gems or ornaments.
