 Deepalakshmi, Lakshmideepa, Kamakshi (one with lovely eyes), Amman (mother), or Pavai Vikkau (lady lamp), these terms are used to denote magnificent South Indian lady figures in sculpture, holding a large oil plate in their hands, serving as stunning oil lamps in the sanctum sanctorum of a shrine. The prefix “Lakshmi” attached to Deepa (lamp) is a generic Indian term for youthful maidens or women of the household, who are believed to embody auspiciousness and fertility, aspects related to the goddess Lakshmi. Placed in proximity to the central deity, Deepalakshmi lamps are votives, donated by affluent devotees after fulfilling their wishes. Standing eternally in the court of their lord, a Deepalakshmi represents the woman of the household and her unbounded gratefulness toward the god for their benevolence toward her family.

The tradition of bronze Pavai Vikkau or Deepalakshmi goes back to the 3rd century B.C. ancient Tamil epic Shilapadikaram (the Jeweled Anklet), which describes life-size metal lady lamps decorating the streets during a temple festival. Sculptures of Deepalakshmi can also be seen in the temple pillars of famous South Indian shrines such as the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Tamil Nadu, as signs of a flaming, immovable, and divine devotion. Exotic India Art has the timeless devotional lamp- Pavai Vikkau or Deepalakshmi in pure brass. The Deepalakshmi clad in attire beautified by colorful inlay work is the very picture of opulence and femininity. 

 

The lady with the lamp stands on a double-tiered pedestal wearing traditional Indian clothes and refined ornaments. Her long hair is in an elaborate hairdo adorned with various ornaments, and she wears a blouse and dhoti. The artistic use of inlay pieces in red, turquoise, and blue brings an impeccable aesthetic beauty to this brass Deepalakshmi. The most stunning attribute of this brasswork is the plump visage of the lady with the lamp which is enlivened by the remarkable facial features- lively eye, fine nose and lips, and an earnest expression. Holding a broad plate in her hands, the brass Deepalakshmi awaits you to light the lamp of devotion. 

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.
