Ganesha: The Remover of Obstacles

Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity, is one of the most beloved and recognizable figures in the Hindu pantheon. Worshipped as the god of beginnings, wisdom, prosperity, and good fortune, Ganesha is invoked at the start of new ventures, journeys, and ceremonies. He is the patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom. His image is found throughout India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Thailand, Indonesia, and beyond, reflecting his wide appeal and influence. The story of Ganesha's birth is steeped in mythology. One popular narrative tells of Parvati, the consort of Shiva, creating Ganesha from the sandalwood paste she used for bathing. She instructed him to guard the entrance to her chambers while she bathed. When Shiva returned home, Ganesha, not knowing who he was, refused him entry. Enraged, Shiva severed Ganesha's head. Parvati, distraught at her son's death, demanded that Shiva bring him back to life. Shiva, remorseful, instructed his followers to find the head of the first creature they encountered facing north. They found an elephant, and Shiva attached the elephant's head to Ganesha's body, thus restoring him to life. Another tale suggests that Ganesha was created by the gods to be an obstacle in the path of demons, thus hindering their malevolent activities. Regardless of the origin, Ganesha's unique form and divine status quickly established him as a central figure in Hindu worship.

A Unique Depiction: Ganesha Adorned

This exquisite brass statue captures Ganesha in a distinctive and regal form. Seated in a pose of serene contemplation, he is adorned with a finely crafted turban, or *pagdi*, a symbol of honor and respect. The *pagdi* is beautifully detailed, reflecting a cultural tradition of headwear worn by individuals of high status or accomplishment. His large ears, said to listen to the pleas of devotees, frame his gentle face, and his trunk curves gracefully, holding a sweet *laddu*, representing the sweetness of spiritual realization. His expression is calm and benevolent, radiating peace and blessings. One hand is raised in the *abhaya mudra*, a gesture of reassurance and protection, while the other holds a rosary, signifying meditation and spiritual practice. Seated upon a lotus base, symbolizing purity and enlightenment, the statue also features Ganesha's vahana, the mouse, Mushika. Though seemingly humble, Mushika represents the ability to overcome obstacles, just as Ganesha is the remover of obstacles. This statue, crafted from brass, is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creators. The medium lends a certain warmth and richness to the piece, creating a visually stunning representation of this revered deity. It serves as both a beautiful object of devotion and an embodiment of Ganesha's blessings, bringing a sense of peace, prosperity, and auspiciousness to any space.

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.
