A Royal Procession of Love and Tradition

This exquisite brass sculpture captures a pivotal moment in Indian tradition: the solemn and joyous procession of a newlywed bride. The palanquin, a symbol of status and reverence, is meticulously crafted, its domed roof adorned with decorative finials, hinting at the grandeur of the occasion. The intricate detailing extends to the arched openings of the palanquin, offering a glimpse of the precious cargo within, poised to embark on her new life.

Guardians of the Sacred Journey

Flanking the palanquin are two robust attendants, their figures conveying strength and dedication. Each carries a long pole, balanced expertly on their shoulders, supporting the weight of the palanquin with a practiced ease. Their traditional attire, including turbans and dhoti-like garments, speaks of a bygone era and a community steeped in heritage. The small, ornate staffs they hold in their free hands are not mere props but suggest a role of protection and guidance, ensuring the bride’s safe passage. The entire assembly rests upon a wheeled platform, adding a unique, almost whimsical touch, as if the entire procession is gliding effortlessly towards a new beginning.

Echoes of Myth and Matrimony

The tradition of carrying brides in palanquins or similar conveyances is deeply embedded in Indian culture, evoking imagery from epic tales and historical accounts. In ancient India, royal processions often featured palanquins adorned with precious metals and fabrics, carrying brides of noble lineage. This practice was not just a display of wealth but a sacred ritual, symbolizing the transition of the bride from her paternal home to her marital abode, a journey blessed by gods and elders alike. One can imagine this scene unfolding during the Swayamvara ceremonies of epic heroines, where suitors vied for the bride's hand, and her chosen groom would then escort her in a magnificent procession. The presence of the attendants, vigilant and steady, mirrors the mythological narratives where divine escorts or devoted followers ensured the well-being of their charges. This brass sculpture, therefore, is more than just an artifact; it is a tangible representation of timeless customs, love, and the enduring spirit of Indian weddings, where every detail, from the ornate palanquin to the dedicated bearers, carries a profound cultural significance. The craftsmanship, passed down through generations, ensures that this piece continues to tell stories of heritage and celebration.

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.
