Nothing like a vibrantly done-up murti of Lord Ganesha to uplift your poojana-kaksha. Lord Ganesha is the most widely adored of Indian deities, given His childlike form and temperament.
The son of Shiva-Parvati has an elephant head, a chubby body, and an uncompromising love for laddoos. In this luxuriantly inlaid sculpture, He cradles one in the palm of His left anterior hand.
From the attire and shringar of the prince of Kailash Mansarovar to the pedestal on which He sits and the aureole that surrounds Him, almost the entirety of the work is strategically inlaid with richly coloured bits of resin.
Besides the dull golden colour of brass, the colour palette comprises the typical pastels of red and a couple of blues. Note the jewel-like cuts of resin that add to the grandeur of the Lord’s dhoti and are further filigreed to the higher reaches of the aureole. The presence of His vahana, the mouse, is to be found aplenty, a bunch of them seemingly holding up the ornate multi-tiered pedestal their master is sitting on. Note how the head and the hands of the Lord have been kept relatively bare, adding balance and coherence to the composition.
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.
