This brass miniature Hindu God Sabarimala Temple 18 Steps pays homage to the genuine eighteen steps of the Sabarimala temple. Pilgrims begin trekking up the Pathinettam Padi by stepping forward with their right foot. The first five steps represent the five human senses (Panchendriyas), which are visual (eye), auditory (ears), olfactory (nose), gustatory (tongue), and tactile (skin). The eight Ashtaragas are represented by the next eight steps: Kama (Love), Krodha (Anger), Lobha (Avarice), Moha (Lust), Madha (Pride), Maltsarya (Unhealthy Competition), Asooya (Jealousy), and Dhumb (Boastfulness). The subsequent three phases represent three Gunas or Thrigunas (naturally occurring qualities): Satva (Perspicuity, Discernment), Rajas (Activity, Enjoyment), and Thamas (Inactivity, Stupor). Vidya (Knowledge) and Avidya (Ignorance) are the final two levels. 18 Puranas, 18 Mountains, 18 Ayudhams, 18 Siddhas, 18 Devatas, and 18 Gunas are also associated with these 18 Steps.
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.
