Embodiment of Fierce Protection: Lord Shiva as Bhairava

This commanding brass statue captures the fearsome and protective aspect of Lord Shiva as Bhairava, the terrifying manifestation often associated with destruction and annihilation of evil. Crafted with meticulous detail in India, this handmade sculpture is a testament to traditional artistry and profound spiritual symbolism. Bhairava, derived from the Sanskrit word for "terrible," is not merely a destructive force but a guardian, a cosmic sentinel who safeguards dharma and eradicates ignorance and negativity. His presence is believed to offer protection against malevolent influences, diseases, and all forms of adversity.

Iconography of Power and Transcendence

The deity is depicted in a dynamic stance, exuding immense power and unwavering resolve. His multiple arms, a common feature in depictions of powerful deities, signify his omnipresence and multi-faceted capabilities. In his hands, he often holds various potent symbols, such as a skull-topped mace (representing detachment from the ego), a skull-cup (symbolizing the consumption of ignorance), and a severed head (signifying victory over delusion). These attributes underscore Bhairava's role in transcending the mundane and facing the ultimate truths of existence. The serene yet formidable expression on his face, coupled with the fiery halo behind his head, illustrates his divine power and his position as the destroyer of illusion. The intricate detailing on his garments, adorned with traditional patterns, adds to the regal and powerful aura of the deity.

The Ever-Present Companion: The Dog

The presence of a dog at the feet of Bhairava is a significant iconographical element. The dog is considered Bhairava's vahana, or vehicle, and symbolizes his unwavering vigilance and his ability to traverse all realms, even the underworld. In Hindu tradition, the dog is also seen as a guardian of the home and a symbol of loyalty and protection. Bhairava's association with the dog reinforces his role as a protector of his devotees and a formidable force against the forces that threaten cosmic order and individual well-being. This powerful imagery, meticulously rendered in brass, makes this statue a compelling focal point for any sacred space or a striking piece of art for discerning collectors.

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.
