Embodiment of the Lord of Beasts

This magnificent brass statue captures Lord Shiva in his form as Pashupatinath, the Lord of Animals. The deity's presence is commanding, exuding an aura of protective power and profound wisdom. Pashupatinath is a revered aspect of Shiva, symbolizing his dominion over all creatures, wild and tame, and his role as their guardian and sustainer. This form underscores Shiva's compassionate nature, his understanding of the primal forces of life, and his interconnectedness with the entire natural world. The intricate details of the sculpture speak to the immense skill of the artisans who brought it to life. Crafted in India, a land steeped in rich spiritual traditions, this piece is more than just a decorative object; it is a tangible connection to ancient beliefs and devotional practices. The dark patina of the brass, contrasted with the gilded embellishments, lends a timeless and majestic quality to the representation. The multi-armed depiction is characteristic of Hindu iconography, with each limb and attribute holding symbolic significance.

Iconography and Symbolism

In this striking portrayal, Pashupatinath holds several potent symbols. In one hand, he grasps a trident, or Trishul, the primary weapon and emblem of Shiva, representing the three fundamental aspects of existence: creation, preservation, and destruction, as well as the three Gunas (Sattva, Rajas, Tamas). Another hand holds a small, intricately rendered deer, a creature often associated with gentleness, grace, and vigilance. The deer in Shiva's hand signifies his control over and compassion for the animal kingdom, embodying peace and attentiveness. The presence of serpents, often seen coiled around Shiva's neck and adorning his crown, further emphasizes his mastery over powerful, primal energies and his detachment from the ordinary fears of the world. The elaborate headdress and ornate jewelry adorning the deity suggest his divine majesty and his supreme status. The posture, often dynamic and full of divine energy, reflects Shiva's cosmic dance or his transcendental stillness, depending on the specific interpretation. The lotus pedestal upon which he stands is a universal symbol of purity, spiritual awakening, and divine beauty, signifying that even amidst the cycle of birth and death, purity and enlightenment are attainable.

A Testament to Craftsmanship and Devotion

This substantial brass statue is a testament to the enduring legacy of Indian metalwork. The process of creating such a piece is often a labor of love, passed down through generations of skilled artisans. Each hammer strike, each chiseling detail, is infused with devotion and an understanding of the sacred forms. The choice of brass, a durable and resonant metal, allows for fine detailing and imbues the sculpture with a sense of solidity and permanence, mirroring the eternal nature of the divine. Bringing this Pashupatinath sculpture into your home or sacred space invites a powerful presence of protection, harmony with nature, and spiritual grounding. It serves as a constant reminder of the divine interconnectedness of all living beings and the ultimate sovereignty of the cosmic consciousness. This handmade masterpiece is not merely an acquisition but an invitation to embrace the profound spiritual energies embodied by Lord Shiva, the benevolent protector of all creatures.

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.
