The Majestic Emblem of India: A Symbol of Strength and Dharma

This exquisite brass representation captures the iconic Ashoka Stambh, the national emblem of India. More than just a symbol, it is a testament to a rich history and profound philosophical underpinnings. The four majestic lions, perched regally back-to-back, embody power, courage, and strength. Their fearless gaze, directed towards the cardinal directions, signifies their watchful presence and the omnipresence of justice and truth. Each lion is meticulously crafted, with flowing manes and powerful musculature, conveying a sense of untamed royalty that has inspired countless tales and legends.

Echoes of Emperor Ashoka and Ancient Wisdom

The origins of this emblem are deeply rooted in the Maurya Empire, under the reign of Emperor Ashoka the Great. Commissioned by Ashoka, the original lion capital at Sarnath was erected around 250 BCE. It served as a powerful symbol of Buddhism, which Emperor Ashoka championed and spread across his vast empire. The Ashoka Chakra, a wheel of law (Dharma Chakra), is prominently featured at the base of the lions, representing the Buddha's teachings and the eternal cycle of righteousness. The animals adorning the circular base – the elephant, the bull, the lion, and the horse – are believed to represent different aspects of Buddha's life or significant events in his journey. This emblem, therefore, is not merely a national insignia but a repository of ancient Indian wisdom and spiritual heritage.

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.
