Deeplakshmi represents the 'beam of light' that encourages us to live, think, and grow. She is not regarded as a reincarnation of Lakshmi. She is not worshipped in and of herself; instead, she is used in worship. This brass Deeplakshmi with elaborate ornamentation is a tribute to the auspiciousness of the deity of lamps. Here, the maiden is seen holding a leaf shaped lamp. Her attire exudes the Chola grandeur as she wears a breast and waistband, atypical to the Chola royal attire. Her style also resembles Kundavai hairdo. Two parrots sitting on her shoulder signify growth. This Deeplakshmi is a tribute to the grandeur of the Chola empire and the perfect medium for bringing the sacredness of the amp.

A Vision of Divine Radiance: The Deeplakshmi with Parrot

This exquisite 15-inch brass Deeplakshmi statue embodies a profound spiritual narrative and artistic mastery, drawing inspiration from the rich Chola idiom of South Indian sculpture. The Deeplakshmi, a personification of the lamp of divinity, is depicted as a graceful figure, her form meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of serene beauty and auspiciousness. Her posture is one of gentle poise, holding aloft a traditional oil lamp, ready to cast its benevolent light. This lamp, a symbol of knowledge, prosperity, and the dispelling of darkness, is central to countless Hindu rituals and festivals, signifying the triumph of light over ignorance and evil. The presence of parrots perched on her shoulders adds a unique and symbolic layer to this divine representation. In Indian mythology, parrots are often associated with love, communication, and the ability to mimic speech, signifying the goddess's connection to the world and her ability to convey divine messages. They are also sometimes seen as messengers of Kamadeva, the god of love, further imbuing the sculpture with an aura of joy and fertility. The Chola period, renowned for its unparalleled bronze casting, was known for its intricate detailing and lifelike portrayals of deities and celestial beings, and this statue is a testament to that legacy, featuring delicate adornments and a confident yet graceful stance.

Craftsmanship and Cultural Significance

Each aspect of this brass sculpture speaks of dedication and skillful artistry. The smooth, polished finish of the brass enhances the divine glow, while the intricate carvings on the attire, jewelry, and the base further elevate its aesthetic appeal. The tiered base, reminiscent of temple architecture, provides a stable and majestic foundation for the figure, adorned with stylized lotus petals, a sacred symbol of purity and creation in Hinduism. The attention to detail extends to the delicate features of the Deeplakshmi's face, her serene expression and elaborate hairstyle exuding an aura of divine grace. The tradition of lighting lamps, or *diyas*, is deeply ingrained in Indian culture. From the grand *Deepavali* festival, where the entire landscape is illuminated, to daily *puja* (worship) in homes and temples, the lamp serves as a focal point for devotion. The Deeplakshmi statue, therefore, is not merely an object of art but a conduit for spiritual energy. It is believed to invite positive vibrations, ward off negativity, and bless the household with prosperity, well-being, and spiritual enlightenment. This particular rendition, with its distinctive Chola influence, harks back to a golden age of Indian art, bringing with it the legacy of devotional expression and artistic excellence from that era. It is a piece that resonates with historical depth and enduring spiritual significance.

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.
