Who We Are

At Om Sivathiri Metals, we preserve the sacred art of traditional metalwork for temples across the region. Even in this age of modern technology, we believe that armor, flagpoles, gopuram kalasham (temple pinnacles), and gold crowns for deities deserve the human touch of skilled craftsmen.

Our Story

Founded by Master Craftsman Ramamoorthy, Om Sivathiri Metals has been serving temples and devotees for over a decade. What began as a family tradition has grown into a respected establishment known for exceptional quality and devotion to craftsmanship.

“I started my journey in a jewelry workshop, learning this sacred craft to support my father’s legacy,” shares Ramamoorthy. “To elevate our art and business, I completed a diploma in Fine Arts, which has helped us grow steadily over the past 10+ years.”

Our Process

Our creation process combines traditional techniques with meticulous attention to detail

  • For crafting divine armor for Lord Shiva, Amman, Murugan, Vinayagar, and other deities, we begin by applying wax to the idol.
  • We then create a cement concrete cast according to the specific measurements and requirements.
  • Each piece receives our complete focus and devotion until the final form emerges.

“Our concentration remains unwavering throughout the creation process,” explains Ramamoorthy. “Only when the complete form of the deity emerges do we experience true peace. This is more than craftsmanship—it’s devotion.”

Our Commitment

Every armor and thiruvachchi (sacred items) we create is made with spiritual discipline. Ramamoorthy observes fasting during the creation of these sacred items, maintaining purity in both process and product.

Our offerings include:

– Handcrafted armor for temple deities
– Thiruvachchi in gold, silver, and brass plates
– Temple flagpoles and accessories
– Gopuram kalasham (temple pinnacles)
– Gold crowns for divine idols

Family Tradition

Om Sivathiri Metals is truly a family enterprise. Ramamoorthy works alongside his brother and sister-in-law, who share in both the challenges and blessings of this sacred work. Together, they continue a legacy of metalwork that honors both tradition and divinity.
