The Auspicious Form

This meticulously crafted brass sculpture embodies the powerful Hindu deity, Lord Shiva, in a moment of benevolent grace. Seated in the lotus position, a posture synonymous with meditation and enlightenment, Shiva emanates a serene composure. The brass shimmers with a golden hue, capturing the divine energy and timeless quality associated with the Lord of Destruction and Transformation. Every detail, from the intricate patterns of his headdress to the subtle lines of his face, reflects the skill and devotion of the artisan.

Blessings Bestowed

Lord Shiva’s right hand is raised in the Ashirvaad Mudra, a gesture of blessing and protection. This mudra symbolizes fearlessness and grants solace to devotees, offering assurance that they are under his divine care. The open hand invites connection, while the slight curve of the fingers suggests a gentle channeling of energy. This gesture is not merely symbolic; it is believed to transmit positive vibrations and bestow auspicious blessings upon those who seek them.

Symbols of Power

Adorning Shiva is a serpent, Vasuki, coiled around his neck. In Hindu mythology, serpents represent kundalini energy, the dormant spiritual power within each individual. Shiva's control over Vasuki signifies his mastery over this primal force, symbolizing his transcendence over earthly desires and attachments. The crescent moon rests upon his head, representing the control of the mind and emotions. He holds his Trishul, or Trident, a symbol of sovereignty, divine retribution, and the destruction of ignorance. He is often shown in deep meditation, and yet, he is also the protector, the one who removes obstacles and grants wishes.

Abode of Divinity

The base of the sculpture depicts the skin of a lion. Shiva often dwells in cremation grounds, and it is often believed that his seat is the skin of a lion, indicating his detachment from the material world and his acceptance of mortality. This sculpture serves not only as a beautiful piece of art but also as a powerful reminder of the divine presence in our lives. Place it in your home or meditation space as a focal point for prayer, reflection, and spiritual growth, and allow it to radiate blessings and positive energy.

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.
