A Divine Gateway to Prosperity

This exquisite brass creation is more than just a decorative piece; it is a portal to auspiciousness, a testament to divine grace, and a masterpiece of traditional Indian craftsmanship. Intricately designed, it captures the essence of devotion and the allure of ancient artistry, bringing a touch of sacred beauty to your home or sacred space. The form itself draws inspiration from the prabhavali, the radiant halo that encircles deities in Indian iconography, symbolizing their divine effulgence and celestial presence. This particular prabhavali is designed to evoke the presence of Goddess Lakshmi, the embodiment of wealth, fortune, and prosperity, as well as Lord Vishnu, her divine consort, who is often depicted upholding cosmic order and bestowing blessings. The central arch, reminiscent of a temple's torana, is adorned with motifs that speak of abundance and cosmic harmony.

Symbolism and Divine Presence

Observe the playful yet powerful Makara at the apex, a mythical sea creature often seen as a vehicle for river goddesses and a symbol of untamed energy harnessed for divine purposes. Flanking this celestial beast are depictions of elephants, revered in Hinduism as symbols of strength, wisdom, and good fortune, often associated with Indra, the king of the gods. These elements together suggest a grand and divine procession, heralding the arrival of blessings. Beneath these regal figures, the prabhavali features two imposing pillars. Each pillar stands on a decorative pedestal and is surmounted by a captivating representation of a divine figure. While the overall design is strongly associated with Lakshmi, these figures can also be interpreted as Vishnu in his various benevolent forms, or even as gatekeepers of the divine realm. The presence of a small, supportive animal beneath the feet of these deities further signifies their dominion and grace extended to all beings. The detailed rendering of their attire and ornamentation speaks volumes about the artisan's skill and deep understanding of sacred symbolism.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Hand-crafted from solid brass, this prabhavali possesses a timeless allure. Brass, a metal alloy of copper and zinc, has been used for centuries in India for its durability, malleability, and inherent spiritual significance. It is believed to attract positive energy and ward off negative influences, making it an ideal material for devotional objects. The warm, lustrous sheen of the brass, achieved through meticulous polishing, enhances the intricate details and gives the piece a regal antique appearance. This is not a mass-produced item, but a piece imbued with the spirit and dedication of its maker, carrying forward a tradition of artisanal excellence. This prabhavali serves as a magnificent backdrop for a deity image or idol, or can stand alone as a powerful statement of spiritual devotion and artistic appreciation. It is an heirloom-quality piece, destined to be cherished and passed down through generations, a constant reminder of divine blessings and enduring beauty.

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.
