A Divine Embrace: Lord Shiva and Baby Ganesha

This exquisite 12-inch brass sculpture captures a tender moment between Lord Shiva, the destroyer and transformer in the Hindu trinity, and his son, Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Seated serenely atop Mount Kailash, Shiva's abode, the depiction radiates a sense of peace and divine power. The intricate detailing of the sculpture showcases the mastery of Indian artisans, a tradition passed down through generations. The rich, deep brown patina of the brass, accented with silver highlights, adds a touch of regal magnificence. Ganesha, nestled securely in his father's arms, embodies the innocence and blessings associated with this beloved deity. The halo-like circular frame surrounding Shiva further emphasizes his divine status, showcasing ornate carvings that reflect the grandeur of his sacred mountain home.

Mount Kailash: The Abode of the Gods

Mount Kailash, depicted as the base of this sculpture, holds immense significance in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Bon religions. Considered the center of the world in many spiritual traditions, it is believed to be the dwelling place of Lord Shiva and Parvati. This sacred peak, shrouded in mystery and inaccessible to most, has been a site of pilgrimage for centuries. Legends speak of its mystical energies and spiritual power. Pilgrims undertake arduous journeys, often facing extreme conditions, to attain spiritual enlightenment and blessings from the gods residing within its mystical peaks. This sculpture beautifully encapsulates the sanctity and spiritual power associated with this sacred mountain.

Lord Shiva: The Destroyer and Transformer

Lord Shiva, the central figure of this sculpture, is one of the principal deities of Hinduism. Often depicted with a third eye, representing insight and wisdom, he is revered as the destroyer of evil and the transformer of the universe. He is known for his austere nature and deep meditation, embodying both destruction and creation. His trident (trishul), which he holds majestically, symbolizes his power and ability to overcome obstacles and bring about transformation. Shiva's consort, Parvati, is often associated with Mount Kailash, and this sculpture's depiction subtly hints at this powerful connection by placing Shiva on his sacred abode. The serene expression of Shiva in the statue conveys the peace that comes with understanding and accepting life's cyclical nature of destruction and rebirth.

Baby Ganesha: The Remover of Obstacles

The presence of baby Ganesha, affectionately cradled by Shiva, adds another layer of profound symbolism to this sculpture. Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, is worshipped as the remover of obstacles and the bestower of good fortune. His inclusion in this depiction underlines the theme of overcoming challenges and attaining spiritual growth. The innocent depiction of a young Ganesha suggests a beginning, a fresh start, and the potential for limitless growth under the watchful eye of his father. The bond between father and son symbolizes the divine grace and guidance available to those who seek spiritual enlightenment.

Handcrafted Excellence: A Legacy of Indian Artisanship

This sculpture is not simply a decorative item; it is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India. Crafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques, passed down through generations, each detail is meticulously executed. The use of high-quality brass ensures the durability and lasting beauty of this piece. This sculpture is more than just a statue; it is a piece of art, a symbol of faith, and a representation of the enduring spirit of Indian craftsmanship. It would make a stunning addition to any home or collection, bringing a touch of spirituality and beauty to your living space.

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.

The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.

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.
