The Embodiment of Auspiciousness and Tranquility

Behold a striking representation of Lord Shiva, the destroyer of evil and the transformer, captured in a moment of serene meditation. This commanding brass statue, meticulously handcrafted in India, brings the essence of this powerful deity into your space. The statue depicts Shiva seated in the lotus position (Padmasana), a pose symbolic of enlightenment and inner peace, upon a intricately designed pedestal. Every detail, from the serene expression on his face to the accouterments that define him, speaks to his divine nature.

Shiva: The Destroyer, The Creator, The Preserver

Shiva, also known as Mahadeva, is one of the principal deities of Hinduism. He is revered as the destroyer among the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity that also includes Brahma (the creator) and Vishnu (the preserver). However, Shiva’s destruction is not one of malice but rather a necessary force of transformation, clearing the way for new beginnings and the continuation of the cosmic cycle. He is the ultimate ascetic, a yogi who resides on Mount Kailash, deep in contemplation, yet also a householder, devoted to his consort Parvati and his children, Ganesha and Kartikeya. Shiva represents the paradoxical nature of existence: detachment and engagement, power and compassion, destruction and creation.

Iconography and Symbolism

This magnificent statue beautifully captures the essential iconography of Shiva. Notice the cobra, Vasuki, coiled around his neck, symbolizing Shiva's control over fear and death, and representing Kundalini energy, the primal force residing within us. In his matted hair, you will see the crescent moon, representing the control of the mind and emotions, and Ganga, the sacred river goddess, who flows from the heavens through Shiva's hair to prevent the earth from being crushed by her force. Beside Shiva stands his Trishul (trident), a three-pronged spear symbolizing the three aspects of consciousness - waking, dreaming, and sleeping - or, the three Gunas: Sattva (purity), Rajas (passion), and Tamas (inertia), all of which Shiva commands. The Rudraksha beads adorning his neck and arms are considered sacred and are believed to possess healing and protective properties. His hands are positioned in a meditative mudra, emphasizing his state of deep contemplation and transcendence. The tiger skin on the pedestal suggests his control over desires. The pedestal itself adds to the statue's majesty and presence.

Craftsmanship and Origin

This exceptional statue is crafted from brass by skilled artisans in India. The process involves intricate detailing, from the casting of the initial form to the meticulous polishing and finishing, resulting in a piece of art that reflects India's rich artistic heritage. The use of brass imparts a warm, golden hue that radiates a sense of sanctity and timelessness. The statue's substantial size makes it a captivating focal point in any setting, whether a home shrine, meditation space, or art collection. This impressive Shiva statue is more than just a decorative object; it is a powerful symbol of transformation, inner peace, and the eternal cosmic dance. It serves as a reminder to embrace change, find stillness within, and connect with the divine that resides within us all. The dimensions of this piece is 2.3 ft x 1.9 ft x 1.4 ft.

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.
