Panchaloha (also called Panchaloham or Panchaloha - literally, "five metals") is a term for traditional five-metal alloys of sacred significance used for making Hindu temple icons (Murti). Making Panchaloha images were a well kept secret for a long time and their color changing properties added to their mysticism. The most famous Panchaloha statue, that of Nataraja (The Dancing Lord) was removed during British Colonial rule.
