A Divine Illumination: The Rat-Supported Ganesha Lamp

Bring a touch of the divine and the auspicious into your sacred space with this exquisite brass puja lamp. Masterfully handcrafted in India, this lamp is more than just a decorative piece; it is a symbol of devotion, a vessel for light, and a representation of powerful deities. The rich, warm hue of the brass evokes a sense of tradition and purity, making it a perfect addition to any altar or meditation corner.

The Faithful Steed of Ganesha

At the heart of this lamp's design is its unique and symbolic base: a beautifully rendered brass rat. In Hindu mythology, the rat, known as Mushika, is the divine mount and faithful companion of Lord Ganesha, the beloved remover of obstacles and the god of wisdom and new beginnings. Mushika's journey often represents overcoming challenges and navigating the complexities of life, mirroring Ganesha's own attributes. This depiction showcases the rat in a posture of humble service, its body intricately detailed and adorned with decorative patterns, as if carrying its divine master with unwavering loyalty. The rat's presence beneath the lamp signifies that all endeavors, like this lamp's flame, are supported by divine will and protected from worldly hindrances.

Craftsmanship and Tradition

This lamp is a testament to the skilled artisans of India, who have poured their expertise and devotion into its creation. Each detail, from the delicate carving on the rat's saddle to the elegant curves of the lamp's bowl, speaks of a rich heritage of metalwork. The brass used is of high quality, ensuring durability and a lustrous sheen that will endure for generations. The form of the lamp itself is designed to hold a diya, a small oil lamp, traditionally filled with ghee or oil and a cotton wick. As the flame flickers within, it symbolizes the dispelling of darkness, ignorance, and negativity, ushering in wisdom, clarity, and spiritual illumination.

An Auspicious Offering

The pairing of Ganesha and his rat companion evokes a deep spiritual resonance. Ganesha, the elephant-headed deity, is invoked at the commencement of rituals, festivals, and any significant undertaking, to ensure success and remove impediments. His presence is a blessing, and to have him symbolically represented, even in the form of his mount supporting a source of light, is considered highly auspicious. This lamp serves as a focal point for prayer and meditation, encouraging introspection and a connection to the divine. It is an ideal gift for housewarmings, weddings, or any occasion where blessings and good fortune are desired. Illuminate your home and your spirit with this remarkable brass puja lamp, a fusion of art, devotion, and ancient wisdom.

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.
