A Manifestation of Oneness

Observe the captivating form of a deity revered in Hinduism as a unified representation of Shiva and Parvati, the divine masculine and feminine principles. More than a simple fusion, this form encapsulates the seamless interdependence and inseparability of these energies, a dance of creation and destruction, stillness and movement. Through this deity, the profound understanding of cosmic balance is brought to life. The intricate details of this brass sculpture speak volumes. The right side, embodying Shiva, displays the attributes traditionally associated with him: the wild, untamed hair (jata), often piled high and adorned with the crescent moon; the cobra, a symbol of kundalini energy and transcendence, coiled around the arm; and the trishul, Shiva's trident, representing the destruction of the ego and the triumph over ignorance. The left side, representing Parvati, exhibits the graceful curves of the female form, adorned with jewelry and a gentle expression, symbolizing love, nurture, and creation.

The Cosmic Dance of Duality

The tale of how this form came to be varies, but the essence remains the same: Shiva and Parvati, deeply in love, realized the essential unity of their beings. One myth describes Parvati's desire to be inseparable from Shiva, leading them to merge into a single form. Another tells of Shiva assuming this androgynous form to demonstrate to the world the necessity of both male and female energies for creation and sustenance. Regardless of the specific narrative, the form became a potent symbol of the harmonious blending of seemingly opposing forces. Devotees celebrate this form as the epitome of completeness, transcending the limitations of gender and highlighting the potential for wholeness within each individual. It is a reminder that true power lies in the integration of contrasting energies, leading to a state of equilibrium and enlightenment. Through contemplation of the divine figure, one is encouraged to embrace the duality within themselves and to find harmony amidst the apparent chaos of the world. The rich detailing in the brass work, from the meticulously crafted ornaments to the symbolic attributes held by the figure, serves as a constant reminder of the intricate and profound nature of existence.

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.
