A Divine Union

Encounter the profound symbolism embodied in this brass representation of a deity revered as a harmonious fusion of masculine and feminine energies. This captivating sculpture brings to life a concept deeply embedded in Hindu philosophy – the inseparable nature of Shiva and Shakti, the ultimate divine couple. The image portrays a seamless blending of two distinct forms, representing Shiva, the powerful destroyer and transformer, and Parvati (also known as Shakti or Uma), the gentle, nurturing embodiment of cosmic energy. The union is not merely symbolic, but a visual testament to the interdependence of consciousness and energy, stillness and movement, male and female principles.

Mythological Significance

The lore surrounding this form is rich and varied. One tale recounts that Shiva, in his supreme compassion, manifested this form to demonstrate to the arrogant sage Bhrigu that there is no distinction between him and Parvati. Bhrigu, known for his staunch devotion to Vishnu, attempted to physically separate the deities, but Shiva revealed his true nature, leaving the sage humbled and enlightened. Another story suggests that Parvati, in her intense devotion to Shiva, wished to become one with him, leading to their combined manifestation as this powerful icon. The deity became a symbol of the totality of existence, transcending duality and showcasing the ultimate non-difference between the divine masculine and feminine.

Bring Home the Divine Harmony

Crafted from brass, this statue is more than a decorative piece; it's a reminder of the inherent unity within the universe, the balance that sustains life, and the interconnectedness of all things. Display it in your home or sacred space to invoke feelings of wholeness, balance, and divine connection. It is a tangible representation of a profound spiritual concept, encouraging reflection and inner harmony. Let this embodiment of divine unity serve as a reminder of the complementary forces that shape our lives and the universe itself.

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.
