Lakshmi-Ganesha-Sarasvati is an auspicious trinity. They are the presiding deities over wealth (resources), initiative (enterprise), and learning (art and aesthetics), respectively; and in many subcultures are considered siblings. The composite sculpture that you see on this page is a discrete set of three compact murtis.
At the very centre is Ganesha. Lakshmi is to His right, while Sarasvati is to His left. They are all seated on sizeable double-lotus thrones, which are placed on high, lotus-engraved plinths. In keeping with the traditional temple architecture of India, a pair of engraved pillars stand behind each throne. From the pillars rise a layered aureole with a Kirtimukham motif at the zenith.
Dense, strategically placed engravings add a wealth of detail to each of the figures: from the crowns on their heads and the perfect features of each face (despite the scale) to the ample adornments on their bodies. The lustrous golden colour of pure brass adds to the auspiciousness of this sculptural ensemble.
How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?
Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.
Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.
In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.
Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
