Lamplight itself has great significance in Indian culture. As the dispeller of avidya-roopi darkness (‘avidya’ is Sanskrt for ignorance; ‘roopa’, for form), the flame of the dia stands for vidya (knowledge) and enlightenment (awareness). Imagine the beauty of a lamp such as this one, placed at a strategic corner in your home or office, the dias filled in with freshly made clarified butter, and the wicks lit up all at once. This would make for the perfect picture of Vidya shining bright, cutting through the dark recesses of Avidya.
Zoom in on the Ganesha murti at the zenith of this lamp. It is a chaturbhujadhari trishool-tilaka form of the son of Shiva, which adds to the auspiciousness of the composition. The curvaceous, long-stemmed lamp stands on a four-legged pedestal, each of which resembles a wide, gracious sprig of thickly curving vine.
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.
