The sky radiated with full moon. Yamuna cradled upon her bosom multiple stars and her banks lit in moon-light looked like heaps of silver-dust stretching from horizon to horizon. Every thing assumed a celestial glow and a look of unearthliness. And, to this divine magic Krishna added what had been so far missing. He played upon his flute and the magic was absolute. They all, women, cows, peacocks and of course Radha, heard that divine music reaching to them from the banks of Yamuna and they all felt the sky had melted into a transparent milky fluid and moon and stars floated over it like silvery bubbles and that they were melting within. The music dragged them. They wanted to go but the jealous male inflating with ego obstructed them. Radha, the devoted heart and sensitive to emotions, did not hear them nor heard them cows and peacocks and they reached there. Trees did not obey the dictates of season. They gave forth beyond seasonal schedule multiple fruits and bowed to him in love and devotion.

The Shrimad Bhagvata depicts numerous occasions of the divine cosmic experience which not only the residents of Vraja but also the cows, birds, plants, trees and the entire nature underwent when Krishna produced from his flute his divine music. In Krishna's votive iconography artists have crystallized this experience through various visual representations. This magnificent statue represents the most popular form of such kind of visualisation. Under a Kadamba, the tree yet in existence and largely associated with Krishna's legend, stands Krishna playing on his flute and there assemble around him cows, birds and Gopis symbolised here by a cow, two pairs of peacocks and Radha. The Kadamba is depicted as laden with fruits and bent over him. Its each leaf has reflection of his divine glow. Radha in Indian tradition stands for fertility, prosperity and absolute womanhood. She has been hence often conceived with a pot or couple of pots, which symbolise in Indian thought ocean, sky and earth and thereby all that relates to fertility, prosperity and womanhood, the most representative form of endurance, compassion, love and devotion.

The statue cast in fine brass is a magnificent work of art. Each detail has been carved with fine strokes, though the technique used is the same old lost wax process. Both figures have fine features, a highly proportionate anatomy and elaborate details. Each fold of their garments and each projection and form of ornaments and all linear details have been effectively created. Emotionality is seen enlivening the entirety and the love is its sole spirit represented here by the loving peacock couple perching upon the tree-top, the male affectionately caressing the female upon her neck.

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.
