The Benevolent Protector: A Representation of Green Tara

This exquisite brass statue embodies Green Tara, a revered female bodhisattva in Tibetan Buddhism, celebrated for her swift compassion and ability to overcome obstacles. Seated in a graceful posture of ease, her posture, known as the "Royal Ease" (Lalitasana), signifies her detachment from worldly suffering while remaining deeply connected to it. Her right leg is extended, touching the ground, symbolizing her readiness to descend and aid those in distress, while her left leg is drawn up, indicating her sustained meditation and wisdom. This statue, meticulously handcrafted in India, is a testament to the enduring artistic traditions and spiritual devotion that infuse the creation of sacred objects. ––––––––––––––––––––

Symbolism and Iconography

Green Tara's iconography is rich with meaning. The serene expression on her face reflects profound peace and enlightenment, while her eyes, gently lowered, convey her empathetic gaze upon the world. In her right hand, held in the boon-granting gesture (Varadamudra), she offers blessings and dispels fears. Her left hand, resting on her knee in the gesture of refuge (Abhayamudra), provides protection and reassurance against all dangers, both internal and external. Flanking her are two lotus flowers, one fully bloomed and the other a bud, symbolizing the past, present, and future Buddhas and Tara's continuous manifestation across all time. The intricate detailing of her crown, ornaments, and garments speaks to her divine status as a celestial being and a mother figure to all sentient beings. ––––––––––––––––––––

Mythological Significance and Cultural Context

According to Buddhist lore, Green Tara emerged from a tear shed by Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, as he contemplated the suffering of the world. This tear transformed into a lake, from which a lotus bloomed, revealing Tara in all her radiant glory. Her green complexion signifies her active, dynamic energy and her connection to the primordial forces of nature. She is known as the "Mother of Liberation" and is invoked for protection from the eight great fears – pride, ignorance, anger, envy, wrong views, attachment, miserliness, and delusion – which are considered the root causes of suffering. This brass representation serves not only as a devotional object but also as a powerful reminder of the path to enlightenment and the ever-present assistance available to those who seek it. ––––––––––––––––––––

Artistry and Craftsmanship

This substantial statue, crafted from high-quality brass, showcases the masterful skill of Indian artisans. The warm, golden hue of the brass lends a sense of timeless elegance and spiritual radiance. Each element, from the delicate folds of her robes to the intricate patterns adorning her jewelry, has been rendered with exceptional care and precision. The substantial weight and impressive scale of the piece ensure its presence as a focal point in any spiritual or decorative setting. The lost-wax casting technique, a traditional method used for centuries in India, ensures a detailed and durable representation of the divine form. This statue is more than just an object; it is an embodiment of artistic excellence and deep spiritual reverence.

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.
