Embodiment of Compassion and Longevity

This exquisite brass statue depicts White Tara, a revered deity in Tibetan Buddhism, symbolizing compassion, longevity, and the active aspect of enlightenment. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail by skilled artisans in India, this sculpture embodies a spiritual essence that transcends mere aesthetics. White Tara is considered one of the most important female bodhisattvas, a being who has attained enlightenment but chooses to remain in the world to help others achieve liberation. Her name, "Tara," is derived from the Sanskrit root "tar," meaning to cross over, signifying her role in helping sentient beings overcome the ocean of suffering.

Iconography and Symbolism

The serene countenance of White Tara, with her gentle smile and half-closed eyes, reflects profound wisdom and boundless compassion. She is depicted seated in the vajra posture, with her legs crossed in a meditation pose, signifying her enlightened state. Her right hand rests on her knee in the gesture of *varada mudra*, the boon-granting gesture, offering blessings and protection to her devotees. Her left hand, resting on her lap, holds the stem of a lotus flower, a symbol of purity, spiritual awakening, and the unfolding of wisdom. The lotus, often depicted blooming, signifies the potential for enlightenment within all beings. White Tara is often depicted with seven eyes – one on her forehead and one on each palm and sole – representing her ability to see all suffering and respond with swift compassion. Adorned with delicate ornaments and a crown, she is a radiant figure, embodying purity and auspiciousness.

Mythological and Cultural Significance

According to Buddhist lore, White Tara was born from a tear of compassion shed by the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara. As his tear fell to the earth, a lotus flower bloomed, and from it emerged White Tara, radiating a soft, white light. This origin story underscores her deep connection to the suffering of beings and her immediate response to alleviate it. She is also known as the "Mother of all Buddhas" because she embodies the wisdom aspect of Buddhahood. Her practice is particularly associated with overcoming fear, anxiety, and prolonging life, making her a popular deity for those seeking healing, protection, and spiritual growth. This statue serves as a powerful reminder of the presence of these divine qualities in the world and a focal point for meditation and devotion.

Artistry and Material

The use of brass for this statue is traditional in Buddhist iconography, prized for its durability and its ability to hold intricate details. The warm, golden hue of the brass is said to symbolize the radiant nature of enlightenment. The craftsmanship evident in this piece, from the delicate rendering of her facial features and flowing robes to the intricate patterns on her ornaments, speaks to the rich artistic heritage of India. Each element is carefully sculpted to evoke the divine presence of White Tara, making this a truly sacred and artistically significant object. This handmade creation is not merely a decorative item but a conduit for spiritual connection and a testament to the enduring beauty of Tibetan Buddhist art.

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.
