The Divine Presence of Budh

This exquisite brass statue embodies Budh, the Hindu deity representing the planet Mercury. In Vedic astrology, Budh is considered the lord of intellect, communication, learning, and wit. He is often depicted as a youthful and intelligent being, influencing our ability to articulate thoughts, understand complex ideas, and engage in commerce and trade. This meticulously crafted representation captures the essence of Budh's benevolent and intellectual power.

Artistry and Symbolism

The statue is cast in high-quality brass, a metal revered in many cultures for its purity and auspiciousness. The divine figure of Budh is shown seated majestically on a lion, a symbol of strength, courage, and royal authority. Budh is depicted with multiple arms, each holding significant iconography. One hand holds a sword, representing sharp intellect and the ability to cut through ignorance. Another grasps a trident, symbolizing the three aspects of time – past, present, and future – or the power to overcome obstacles. The presence of the lion as his vahana (mount) signifies his dominance over earthly desires and his ability to bring order and clarity. The intricate details of the ornamentation, from the crown to the flowing garments, speak to the skill of the artisans who brought this divine form to life.

Inspiration from Mythology

In Hindu mythology, Budh is the son of Chandra (the Moon) and Tara (the wife of Brihaspati, the guru of the gods). This union, born from a complex celestial narrative, bestows upon Budh a unique blend of lunar intuition and Jovian wisdom. He is the embodiment of the analytical mind and the eloquent tongue, crucial for diplomacy, negotiation, and the acquisition of knowledge. Astrologically, a strong Budh in one's horoscope is believed to enhance communication skills, logical reasoning, and a quick, adaptable mind, making individuals adept at learning and quick decision-making.

A Testament to Heritage

This brass statue is more than just an object of art; it is a conduit to the rich spiritual and philosophical traditions of India. It serves as a powerful reminder of the cosmic influences that shape our lives and a symbol of the intellectual prowess and communicative abilities that are so vital in navigating the world. Whether placed in a home altar, meditation space, or as a distinguished decorative piece, this statue of Budh brings an aura of wisdom, clarity, and refined intelligence to its surroundings. It is a timeless piece that resonates with the enduring legacy of Indian craftsmanship and spiritual devotion.

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.
