This is Sai Baba's iconic representation. His long, worn off robe, the scarf tied on his head, his posture - sitting with one leg across the other is how he is depicted in pictures. Stories revolving around his life, his teachings are many but this icon is constant. Shown here seated on rocks, with one foot resting on the same, this depicts the hardships Baba went through during his lifetime. The expression on his face, the gentleness in his eyes speaks of the compassion he had for human beings. He led a simple life, wanting no luxuries for himself. His genteel personality attracted all. Very basic colors are used in the coloring of the sculpture, complementing the simplicity of the theme. His white robe is shaded with brown to depict the folds. The fabric is bordered in gold to highlight his divinity.
Baba was like the flower that blooms to benefit the rest. He healed people's diseases and provided moral and material comfort to them. Sai Baba of Shirdi is in all respects, the essence and embodiment of spiritual enlightenment and religious harmony. He awakened people to the eternal truth and united all communities.
This picture of Baba evokes the humane emotions in heart of the viewer and compels him to bow his head in respect to this great harbinger of peace and harmony.
This statue was carved in Jaipur, Rajasthan, using a fine block of white marble.
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.
