The murti that you see on this page is an ethereal rendition of Shivatandava. Ethereal, because it is an image of divine power and order. The ashtabhujadhari Lord Shiva - ashtabhujadhari is one who is possessed of eight arms - dances upon the mouth of a celestial lotus. One foot rests firmly upon the pedestal, the other raised high in the air. A short dhoti is clad around His hips, a world of sashes swaying about on either side of the same as He motions. A gorgeously bedecked torso lends to the glory of Mahadeva.
Note the tall crown that tapers above His head, the richly detailed halo framing His handsome and solemn face. In the midst of His tandava, the posteriormost arms are raised on either side of the head. In fact, His eight arms are in almost symmetrical arrangement. The most statement-making aspect of this composition is the pale, almost earthy, blue overtones of the medium.
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.
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.
