‘Karpurgauram Karunavataram, Sansarsaram Bhujgendraharam’
From the above verse one can understand the transcendental form of Lord Shiva which has been depicted in this sculpture with a huge amount of dedication.
As, Godhead Lord Shambhu has a fair complexion as pure as camphor, he is the essence of the world and has adorned a large serpent around his neck who is the king of all the snakes of the universe and is known as Sheshnaag (Nagendra).
Here, Lord is seated on lion’s skin placed on an ice rock which is looking pretty realistic while shiva is postured in his unique chaturbhuja rupa in which he holds his auspicious implements which are Trishula, Damaru, and a divine kamandal (metal container) filled with sacred gangajal and with his lower right hand he is posing an ‘Abhaya Mudra’ which makes his devotees fearless and provide them with a shower of bliss.
Here are some of the amazing features in this craft which are incredible and attract everyone towards It and makes this masterpiece the best and worthy illustration to behave at home; the iconic and detailed jata (shreds), the shower of ganga jal splashing out from the bottom of deity’s head, the sober and soothing Tripundra tilak over the wide forehead along with an eye placed in between that’s why he is called trilochan; symbols of spirituality such as, rudraksha bands and necklaces, snakes across the figure, the sweetly carved out lotus feet of him along with the great nandi seated below as he shows his respect towards his master of Lord Shiva and last but not the least the majestic aureole behind the lotus head of Shri Shankar ji.
This is an astonishing white marble composition that has been brilliantly carved out and designed in vibrant colors as well as it highly contributes to the art culture of India.
How to clean and maintain marble statues?
Marble has been a preferred material for sculptors and artists for more than a thousand years. It is a rock that undergoes metamorphism which causes recrystallization of the original carbonate mineral grains. Marble comes in various colors, designs, and dimensions. Pure white marble is the most preferred type of marble for making sculptures and statues since time immemorial. White marble is especially used for sculpting stone monumental sculptures since ancient times. The natural shine and luster of the carbonate crystals of white marble give a lavish and beautiful appearance to the statue.
Marble stone statues are highly durable and can even withstand harsh weather conditions without getting corroded, therefore, they can be kept indoors or outdoors without getting damaged or weathered. Although these statues can last for many decades, their regular care and cleaning are essential to increase their longevity and beautiful appearance.
Marble statues need periodical cleaning to maintain their flawless look. However, harsh and deep cleaning can result in making the statue look dull. If your marble statue is withering away, it is recommended to take the help of a professional cleaner. Marble is a delicate material and therefore needs proper care.
