Many ancient sources
mention Deeplakshmi being placed before the deities to show her devotion. She's
also known as the Goddess of Light. She emanates the impression of a deity
dressed in richly embroidered clothes. Her beauty is enhanced by her regal
haircut, which is evocative of Chola queens. Deeplakshmi, who stands
on a lotus pedestal, wields a leaf-shaped light, symbolizing the bestower of
prosperity and expansion. She reflects the traditional concept that Deepalakshmi
brings good luck and benefits, preserving the time-honored custom of conjuring
wealth and abundance, with two parrots perched on her shoulders. This
Deeplakshmi in Brass, painstakingly Handmade in India, pays respect to
Deepalakshmi's importance in Hindu culture.

The Deeplakshmi, in her offering pose, holds a traditional oil lamp, symbolizing the dispelling of darkness and ignorance, and the illumination of wisdom and good fortune. This imagery resonates deeply with the Hindu concept of *Deepavali*, the festival of lights, where lamps are lit to welcome prosperity and ward off evil. The presence of peacocks perched on her shoulders adds another layer of rich symbolism. The peacock, with its iridescent plumage, is often associated with beauty, royalty, and the divine messenger Kartikeya, son of Shiva and Parvati. In some traditions, peacocks are also seen as guardians of the home, their presence bringing auspiciousness and protection. The intricately designed base, reminiscent of a blooming lotus, further enhances the statue's sacred aura. The lotus is a powerful symbol of purity, spiritual awakening, and creation, representing the divine unfolding of the universe.

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.
