Madurai Veeran is a folk deity of the Tamils. He is expounded in the Maduraiveeraswamikathai as a warrior (‘veeran’) of the highest order, having earned a virtuous wife and a prosperous kingdom through sheer dint of bravery and fortitude. In fact, He is worshipped in Madurai for these very qualities which enabled Him to come to the rescue of the people of Madurai.
The Madurai Veeran murti that you see on this page is a pure brass composition. The colour of resplendent gold, owing to the medium, befits the divine warrior status of Lord Veeran. He bears a goad in the left hand. In the right hand, which He raises high above His head, He bears a dagger.
Elements of His iconography which betray the South Indian iconography and workmanship include the jaunty angle of the turban, the ample hair and moustache, and the especially attentively carved plinth upon which He stands.

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.

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.
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.
