The Divine Boar: A Symbol of Cosmic Restoration

Embrace the power and divine grace of Bhagawan Vishnu's Varaha avatar with this exquisite brass idol. Handcrafted in India, this meticulously detailed representation captures the awe-inspiring form of Varaha, the celestial boar, as he emerges from the cosmic waters to restore order to the universe. This deity embodies the primal force of creation and protection, symbolizing the eternal cycle of destruction and regeneration that is central to Hindu cosmology. In ancient Hindu tales, the demon Hiranyaksha plunged the Earth into the cosmic ocean, threatening all existence. To rescue the planet and its inhabitants, Lord Vishnu manifested as Varaha, a colossal boar of immense strength and determination. This powerful avatar then plunged into the depths, his tusks lifting the Earth, Mother Bhumi, back to her rightful place in the cosmos. This act of unparalleled courage and divine intervention underscores Varaha's role as a protector and a symbol of hope against overwhelming chaos. ––––––––––––––––––––

Artistry and Spiritual Significance

This stunning brass idol is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India, where skilled artisans have passed down their craft through generations. The use of brass, a durable and revered metal in Indian traditions, lends a sense of timelessness and sacredness to the sculpture. Each curve and detail is thoughtfully rendered, from the powerful boar's head to the intricate patterns adorning Varaha's attire and the divine lotus pedestal upon which he stands. The depiction often includes multiple arms, each holding symbolic objects such as a conch, discus, mace, or a lotus, signifying Varaha's multifaceted power and divine attributes. In this particular representation, Varaha cradles Mother Bhumi, who is often depicted in a supplicating posture, signifying her salvation and gratitude. The presence of a smaller figure on the pedestal could represent a devotee or a celestial being acknowledging Varaha's might. This idol is more than just a decorative piece; it is an embodiment of divine power, a reminder of the constant struggle between good and evil, and the ultimate triumph of righteousness. ––––––––––––––––––––

A Sacred Addition to Your Space

Place this Varaha idol in your home, temple, or meditation space to invoke a sense of divine protection, strength, and cosmic balance. Its presence can serve as a constant reminder of the universe's cyclical nature and the power of divine intervention. The warm glow of the brass, combined with the intricate craftsmanship, makes this idol a focal point of spiritual energy and aesthetic beauty. It is an ideal gift for devotees, art collectors, or anyone who appreciates the profound narratives and artistic brilliance of Hindu iconography. Let the spirit of Varaha's unwavering resolve and his mission of cosmic restoration inspire your own journey towards harmony and well-being.

The Divine Boar Incarnation: Varaha and His Significance in Hindu Mythology

Varaha Dev is the white Boar incarnation of Lord Shri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Whenever there is a discrepancy in the religious principles followed by the living entities in the material world, the Lord advents and re-establishes religiosity and kills the miscreants. He is the maintainer of the entire universe and comes personally to protect His devotees from great difficulties. The devotees of the Lord always remain engaged in His devotional service and thus experience the highest form of spiritual bliss.

Which demon was killed by Varaha?

The pastime of Lord Varaha killing a demon is elaborately mentioned in the third Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam. There were two demoniac brothers named Hiranyakashipu and Hiranyaksha, the sons of Kashyap Muni. They bore uncommon bodily features and thus flaunted their supremacy everywhere. Their bodies grew just like mountains, touching the sky, and they blocked the view in all directions. The demon Hiranyaksha once upon a time exploited enough gold from the earth, causing it to go out of orbit. The planet then fell into the causal ocean. Seeing this, Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe, was thinking about how to lift the earth from the ocean. He prayed to the Supreme Lord, who then took the form of a small white boar and came out from his nostril. He then grew taller and taller and looked like a gigantic elephant. The Lord dived into the ocean and took the earth on His tusk and lifted it. He then looked at the Hiranyaksha demon with His eyes full of rage and killed him in the water.

What does Varaha symbolize?

The word Varaha is a Sanskrit term that translates into “Boar”. The Acharyas in the path of Bhakti explain that the Supreme Lord took the form of a boar to exhibit His extraordinary potency and to show that out of love and care towards His devotees, He can assume any form to carry out the purpose of relieving them from the danger of demons or non-devotees. The special form of Varaha Dev symbolizes the victory of righteousness over evil. The Lord never fails to reciprocate with His devotees who remain always absorbed in His thoughts.

Although the Supreme Lord Krishna took the form of a boar, it is not to be mistaken as a material form that eventually perishes. The Lord is eternally situated in His spiritual form which is full of bliss and knowledge. When Lord Varaha Dev defeated Hiranyaksha and killed him, He returned to His own abode in the spiritual abode. All the demigods, knowing that no one is equal or greater than the Lord, offered their respectful obeisance to Him and sang His glories.

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.
