The various alphabets making up the name of Hanuman themselves each denote one of his particular virtues:
H = Humility
A = Admiration
N = Nobility
U = Understanding
M = Mastery over ego
A = Achievement
N = Nishkama-karma (selfless service)
This particular depiction of Hanuman relates to a popular episode from the ancient epic Ramayana, where the bulk of literature surrounding Hanuman is found. This representation shows him in a dynamic gesture equivalent to flying, and holding a mountain landscape in one of his hands. During the great battle between Rama and Ravana it so transpired that Lakshmana was seriously wounded. Hanuman, the faithful servant that he was of Lord Rama, flew to the mountain named Mahudaya to fetch the herb Sanjivini, which was the only one capable of healing Lakshmana. Not able to recognize the herb among the lush vegetation on the mountain, he decided to take the entire mountain itself to the battlefield, so that the physician tending to Lakshmana could select the herb himself.
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.
