The sacred Matsya Purana narrates the legend of Shiva’s playful conversation with his beloved Parvati and the emergence of the dark-skinned form of Uma, known as Kaushiki. As Devi Parvati embraced Shiva, Mahadeva lightheartedly called her a Bhujangi or dark, female serpent, wrapped around a sandalwood tree. Enraged, Devi Parvati went deep into penance, to attain a glimmering, Gaura (light-toned) skin. Upon completion of her Tapasya, her form split into two, with the outer skin or Koshas taking the roopa of a dark-skinned Kaushiki and the inner form becoming Gauri.


The mystically dark tone of this brass statue reminds one of the Kaushiki aspect of Parvati. With her towering Jatamukuta, ornaments, and a sublime expression on her exquisite countenance, Devi Parvati mirrors the roopa of Mahadeva. Gazing downwardly and smiling inwardly, goddess Uma Parvati in this statue is the perfection of divine femineity.

Embodiment of Divine Grace: A Brass Depiction of Goddess Parvati

This exquisite brass bust captures the serene and powerful visage of Goddess Parvati, also revered as Uma, the consort of Lord Shiva and the mother of the universe. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this artwork invites contemplation and reverence, bringing the essence of divine feminine energy into your sacred space. The rich, burnished brass, with its subtle patina, lends an aura of timeless antiquity, hinting at the countless centuries this form of devotion has spanned. The goddess is adorned with a majestic, multi-tiered crown, intricately sculpted with floral motifs and symbolic patterns that speak of royalty and spiritual authority. Her benevolent gaze, eyes downcast in serene meditation, emanates compassion and unwavering strength. The delicate curve of her lips suggests a gentle smile, a quiet knowing that pervades the cosmic dance. Her ears are graced with ornate earrings, perhaps representing the union of opposites or the cyclical nature of existence, adding to the regal splendor of her presentation. A heavy, layered necklace adorns her neck and shoulders, each band intricately carved with geometric designs and auspicious symbols, signifying her divine ornamentation and her role as the bestower of blessings. The broad shoulders and the subtle suggestion of her torso convey a sense of grounded power and nurturing stability. In Hindu mythology, Parvati is the daughter of the mountain king Himavan and the earth goddess Mena. Her story is one of penance, devotion, and transformation. She is known for her austerity, her unwavering love for Shiva, and her fierce protectiveness of her children, Ganesha and Kartikeya. As Sati, her previous incarnation, she sacrificed herself when her father insulted Shiva. Her rebirth as Parvati demonstrated her indomitable will and her profound devotion, ultimately winning Shiva's heart once more. Her multifaceted nature encompasses both the gentle, nurturing mother and the formidable warrior goddess Durga or Kali when the world is threatened. This bust, with its profound sense of calm and inherent strength, embodies the multifaceted essence of the Divine Mother. This brass sculpture is more than just an object of art; it is a conduit for spiritual connection. It serves as a focal point for prayer, meditation, and the invocation of Parvati's blessings of marital bliss, maternal love, strength, and spiritual growth. The enduring quality of brass ensures that this representation of divine beauty and power will grace your home for generations, a constant reminder of the benevolent forces that shape our universe.

A Testament to Craftsmanship and Devotion

The artistry displayed in this bust is a testament to the skill of traditional Indian artisans. The casting process, likely using the centuries-old cire perdue (lost-wax) technique, allows for the creation of such intricate details and nuanced expressions. The warm, reddish hue that peeks through the darker patina of the brass highlights the sculpted textures, drawing the viewer's eye across the goddess's divine form. This piece is a fusion of devotional fervor and artistic mastery, a tangible representation of an intangible divine presence, perfect for altars, meditation rooms, or as a statement piece in any space that seeks to invite grace and spiritual depth.

Exploring the Symbolism and Significance of Parvati in Hinduism

Goddess Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva, is one of the principal deities of Goddesses in Hinduism. She appeared in the material world as the daughter of Himavan, king of the Himalayan mountains. The Vedic scriptures describe her as a young, beautiful woman who is chaste and faithful to her husband, Lord Shiva. She is always engaged in the loving service of her family; her two sons Ganesha and Kartikeya. Goddess Parvati is the embodiment of devotion, love, power, and beauty. The followers of the Shakta tradition (Shaktism) describe her as Adi Shakti or the energy behind the creation of material nature. She is very merciful toward all living entities like a mother who cares for her children and manifests many forms to protect them from miscreants. Her most venerated and important powerful forms are Durga and Kali that she took to vanquish demons who created havoc in the material world.

The Vedic scriptures talk of her beautiful form in detail. She wears a red saree and is generally seated, having two or four arms, beside Lord Shiva. Her younger son Ganesha sits on her knee, while Kartikeya sits or stands near Lord Shiva. Goddess Parvati is typically decorated with gold ornaments and a crown on her head and also carries a lotus flower in one of her hands.

What does Parvati symbolize?

Goddess Parvati is gentle and loving toward everyone. She never fails to help and guide those who approach her out of helplessness. Just as a mother is always kind toward her children, Goddess Parvati, being mother nature, is forgiving to all living entities. But when the time comes, she assumes different terrible forms such as Durga and Kali to defeat demons in order to protect the material world. She took the form of Durga and killed the demon Mahishasura. Kali, the most ferocious form, slayed the demon Raktabija. Thus, Goddess Parvati not only symbolizes love, fertility, motherhood, and harmony, but is also the Goddess of power, energy, and destruction.

Can we keep Shiv Parvati statue at home?

It is stated in Srimad Bhagavatam, the most glorious Vedic literature, that Lord Shiva is the topmost Vaishnava (devotee of Lord Vishnu): vaiṣṇavānāṁ yathā śambhuḥ. In order to get the mercy of the Supreme Lord Vishnu, it is important for us to serve His pure devotees. Thus, worshiping Lord Shiva along with his consort Goddess Parvati at home is the way to the heart of Lord Vishnu. But you must also know the standards of worshiping them so that no offense is committed at their lotus feet. If Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati are pleased with your devotional service, you will easily get the causeless mercy of Lord Vishnu and thus the ultimate goal of your life will be achieved.

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.
