The sculpture here depicts the omniscient Adiyogi form of the Shiva, as the patron god of yoga, meditation and spiritual arts. He sits in Padmasana holding a trident in his right hand. a damaru tied to staff of the trident just below the three spikes. His left hand holds a kamandalam. Holy river Ganges, depicted in the divine blue colour flows out of his matted hair.

Lord Shiva is depicted with a serpent around his neck and seated on a tiger skin. A popular story tells us the symbolism of the tiger skin. A group of powerful sages - in their jealous misunderstanding - once trapped the bare-bodied, ash-covered, nomadic Adiyogi in a pit, and unleashed a tiger on him. The tiger was a tantric manifestation conjured up by the mystical power of the sages. Shiva, being who he was, tore the tiger apart. The sages realised his true nature and fell at his feet. The tiger skin symbolism has remained since then as a victory of divine consciousness over the raw animal instincts within us.



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.
