Purity and beauty can come from adversity, just as the lotus that blooms in murky waters. This sculpture depicts the Shivalinga on a lotus pedestal in glittering brass as a symbol of spiritual purity emerging from the chaos of existence. It represents the careful handiwork of Lord Shiva and his cosmic presence. The lotus is a symbol of spiritual rebirth that is grounded in mud but transcends it. Shiva and Shakti, the two primal powers, are united in the linga as a symbol. In the same way that the lotus blossoms in hardship, this sculpture encourages us to embrace the intricacies of life while searching for purity and spirituality along the way.

The Embodiment of Cosmic Power

This exquisite brass idol captures the profound essence of Lord Shiva in his most symbolic form: the Shivalinga. Resting gracefully on a blossoming lotus pedestal, this piece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India, meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans. The warm, lustrous brass lends an aura of timeless divinity, making it a truly captivating centerpiece for any sacred space or a distinguished addition to your collection of Indian artifacts. The Shivalinga itself is adorned with a coiled cobra, its hood spread protectively above. In Hindu mythology, the serpent, particularly the cobra, is intrinsically linked with Lord Shiva. It is said that Vasuki, the king of serpents, offered himself to be used as a rope during the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan) to extract the nectar of immortality. Lord Shiva, in his infinite compassion and power, wore Vasuki around his neck, signifying his mastery over all forms of energy and his ability to tame even the most formidable forces. The cobra's presence here, therefore, represents Shiva's divine protection, his control over primal energies, and his role as the supreme being who transcends all dualities.

A Symbol of Creation and Dissolution

The lotus, upon which this divine representation is seated, is another potent symbol in Indian culture, deeply associated with purity, spiritual awakening, and creation. The lotus emerges from the mud, yet remains unstained, mirroring the divine ability to exist within the material world without being tainted by it. It is often seen as the seat of deities, signifying their supreme power and auspicious presence. In relation to the Shivalinga, the lotus pedestal reinforces the idea of the divine origin and the ceaseless cycle of creation and dissolution that Shiva embodies. The intricate detailing of the lotus petals on the base of the idol further accentuates its aesthetic appeal and spiritual significance. This handmade brass sculpture is more than just an object of art; it is an invitation to connect with the divine. The OM symbol, subtly yet powerfully etched onto the Shivalinga, is the primal sound of the universe, representing the ultimate reality. The entire composition speaks of the cosmic dance of Shiva – the Tandava – a dynamic balance of destruction and creation, the omnipresent consciousness that pervades all existence. Bringing this idol into your home is an act of inviting auspiciousness, spiritual growth, and the powerful presence of the benevolent deity. Each curve, each etched line, tells a story of devotion and the eternal cosmic truths.

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.
