Brass covering work for temples involves cladding wooden doors, pillars, sanctum sanctorum frames, and walls with intricately embossed or engraved brass sheets (often 20 gauge) for a golden, traditional finish. Common, durable designs include motifs like Kalash, Swastika, OM, and deities, primarily in South Indian (Kerala/Tamil Nadu) style

• Applications: Main entrance doors (Nagas/Gajalakshmi work), pillar cladding, temple roof structures, and Sanctum Sanctorum (inner chamber) covering.

• Techniques: Intricate embossing, engraving, and hand-crafted designing (traditional, artistic, and divine motifs).

• Components: Often involves covering the Nelavu (platform), steps, and Kodimaram (flagstaff).
