Lord Indra was an anthropomorphic god, revered in all major diversions of religion as a protector and a kshatriya warrior, who can be called upon in times of war. He is the king of heaven, lightening, thunder, storm and rains and holds the most popularity in Rigveda. Indra was often known for his fondness for soma, the alcoholic elixir with the divine apsaras dancing in front of him in his court.

The sculpture shown on this page shows this beautiful apsara standing on a double lotus plinth in her most gracious dance move to please the king (Indra) and other kings’ men. Her legs bent in an exquisite posture and hands held high in the most descent mudra hold a damru that produces simultaneous heavenly sounds while she dances.

Not only the posture, her alluring fitted garbs of a luxurious ankle length dhoti and a stylized crop top highlight the voluptuous curve of her slim waist in an enchanting manner. The sculptor here has chosen for a uniquely fashioned crown that extends backwards forming vertical lines, along with a glossy and crisp dark brown shaded polish to this sculpture to mention her as being the most special celestial nymph of Lord Indra’s court.

Ethereal Grace: The Divine Dancer

Immerse yourself in the celestial realm with this exquisite brass statue, capturing the essence of a celestial dancer in mid-performance. This art piece is a tribute to the Apsaras, the celestial nymphs who grace the heavens with their beauty, grace, and captivating dance. In Hindu mythology, the Apsaras are beings of immense charm and talent, known for their enchanting performances in the court of Lord Indra, the king of the gods. They are often depicted as divine dancers and musicians, whose art can move even the gods and inspire mortals. This statue beautifully embodies the spirit of these mythical beings. The dynamic pose suggests a moment frozen in time, as the dancer bends and sways with an almost otherworldly fluidity. Her raised arms, one holding a musical instrument that signifies the harmonious accompaniment to her dance, and the other in a graceful gesture, convey a sense of joyous expression and spiritual devotion. The intricately detailed attire, with its layered fabrics and ornate borders, accentuates the movement and adds to the regal aura of the figure.

Echoes of the Divine in Art

The Apsaras play significant roles in various Hindu epics and legends. They are often sent to Earth to disrupt the penance of ascetics, testing their resolve through their alluring presence and mesmerizing dances. Yet, they are also revered as divine messengers and dispensers of beauty and art. Their dances are not merely performances but are believed to embody the very rhythms of the universe, reflecting the cosmic order and the divine play of creation and destruction. This brass statue, through its masterful craftsmanship, seeks to bring a piece of that celestial beauty and divine energy into your living space. The choice of brass as the medium for this sculpture is significant. Brass has been a favored material for creating divine idols and decorative art in India for centuries. Its malleability allows for intricate detailing, while its warm, lustrous patina lends a sense of timelessness and sacredness to the artwork. This statue is not just an object of beauty but a conduit to the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of India, inviting contemplation and awe. Its presence can transform any setting, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of Hindu mythology and the timeless art of dance.

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.
