The Giver of Luxury and Love

This exquisite brass statue captures Shukra, the Hindu deity representing the planet Venus. Known as the "Graha" of material pleasure, wealth, beauty, and love, Shukra is a celestial being who governs all aspects of earthly delight. In Vedic astrology, Shukra is considered a benefic planet, bestowing good fortune, romantic fulfillment, and artistic talents upon those whose birth charts are favorably influenced by its presence. This beautifully crafted depiction embodies the grace and opulence associated with this powerful deity.

Iconography and Symbolism

The figure of Shukra is depicted with serene countenance, adorned with intricate jewelry and a regal crown, signifying his status and influence. The statue portrays him seated gracefully upon a magnificent antelope, the mount (Vahana) traditionally associated with Shukra. The antelope, known for its speed, agility, and keen senses, symbolizes the swift and elusive nature of desires and pleasures. Shukra is often depicted with multiple arms, each holding significant symbols. In this representation, one hand is raised in a gesture of blessing or assurance, while another firmly grasps a mace-like object, suggesting his power and authority. A bowl is held in another hand, possibly representing the wealth and abundance he bestows. The meticulous craftsmanship of the brass brings to life the divine aura and auspiciousness of Shukra.

Mythological Roots and Astrological Significance

In Hindu mythology, Shukra is often described as the son of Bhrigu, a revered sage, and the guru of the Asuras (demons). Despite his association with the Asuras, Shukra is considered a divine entity who teaches the arts of diplomacy, wealth, and sensual pleasure. His knowledge is vast, and he is credited with possessing the Sanjeevani Mantra, a powerful incantation that can revive the dead. This dual nature, associated with both divine wisdom and worldly allure, makes Shukra a complex and fascinating figure in the celestial pantheon. Astrologically, a strong Shukra in one's horoscope can indicate a life filled with luxury, comfort, creative expression, and harmonious relationships. Conversely, a malefic Shukra can manifest as excessive indulgence, possessiveness, or a lack of taste. This magnificent brass statue serves not only as a beautiful decorative piece but also as a tangible representation of the cosmic influences that shape our lives, inviting blessings of prosperity, harmony, and refined taste into your home. Its timeless appeal and spiritual significance make it a cherished addition for collectors of divine art and those seeking to invoke the auspicious energies of Shukra.

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.
