In the local language, the beautiful brass arch behind the idols is known as Prabhavali. This Prabhavali is a fantastic piece of deity-positioning equipment. A fabled creature named Kirtimukha stands at the center of the arch. Peacocks may be observed at the halo and the stand intersection. Two Yalis are tastefully placed on either side of the Prabhavali. The arch is further helped by a middle plate with a hole for installing and anchoring the statue. Kirtimukha, the guardian image, is said to possess tremendous protective force, making it an excellent choice for Alamkara or deity decoration.

Aura of Divine Presence

Envelop your sacred space with an aura of divine presence embodied in this meticulously handcrafted piece. A Prabhavali, traditionally rendered in metal, is an arch or halo that frames deities in Hindu and Buddhist iconography. It signifies the divine radiance or aura emanating from the central figure, emphasizing their sanctity and power. The Prabhavali elevates the statue or image, setting it apart as worthy of veneration, distinguishing it from the mundane. The skilled artisans who crafted this piece have painstakingly worked the brass, lending it a subtle sheen that catches the light and adds depth to the detailing. Minute patterns and curves are etched across its surface, speaking volumes of the dedication poured into its creation. More than just a decorative element, this Prabhavali serves as a visual representation of the energy and holiness associated with the deity it graces.

The Kirtimukha: Guardian of Thresholds

At the apex of this Prabhavali resides the Kirtimukha, a fierce yet protective face that holds a profound significance in Hindu temple architecture and iconography. The Kirtimukha, meaning "face of glory," is often depicted as a roaring lion-like face, devouring its own tail. Its origins are rooted in a captivating legend. According to the Shiva Purana, a proud and powerful demon named Jalandhara challenged Lord Shiva to a battle. To quell Jalandhara's arrogance, Shiva emitted a terrifying being from his third eye, so fearsome that Jalandhara was immediately humbled. However, without a specific task, the being threatened to devour the world. Shiva, impressed by its power, ordered it to devour itself. The being obeyed, consuming everything but its face, thus becoming known as Kirtimukha. Shiva declared that Kirtimukha should adorn temple entrances, ensuring that all who entered would be cleansed of negativity and ego. Its inclusion in the Prabhavali symbolizes the vanquishing of ignorance and the purification required to approach the divine. Kirtimukha, therefore, becomes a guardian, warding off evil and safeguarding the sanctity of the deity within the Prabhavali.

Crafted with Devotion

Created by skilled artisans, this piece reflects centuries of tradition and expertise passed down through generations. The blend of brass and iron adds to its robust construction and its visual appeal. The handmade nature of this Prabhavali ensures that each piece possesses unique characteristics, a testament to the artistry and individuality that machine-made items cannot replicate. Invite the energy of devotion and the protective presence of Kirtimukha into your home with this stunning Prabhavali, a timeless symbol of faith and artistry.

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.
