Iconography and Symbolism

Karttikeya is a prominent deity in Hinduism, revered as the god of war and the commander-in-chief of the celestial armies. He is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, born to vanquish the formidable demon Taraka, who had been granted a boon by Lord Brahma that he could only be killed by a seven-day-old child. The birth of Karttikeya was orchestrated by the gods to fulfill this prophecy. In this representation, Karttikeya is depicted seated in a meditative posture atop a lotus flower, a symbol of purity and spiritual awakening. His multiple arms hold significant divine implements. The trident (Trishula) signifies his power over the three gunas (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas) and his ability to destroy ignorance and evil. The other hand holds a lightning bolt, a symbol of his martial prowess and decisive action. His hands are also joined in Anjali Mudra, a gesture of prayer and reverence, signifying his devotion and humility despite his immense power. ––––––––––

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.
