The Embodiment of Shakti

This exquisite brass sculpture captures the powerful presence of the Hindu Goddess Durga. She is depicted astride her vahana, the lion, a symbol of strength, courage, and righteous power. The fine detailing showcases the divine feminine in her most formidable form. Observe her serene face, radiating confidence and compassion, even amidst the implements of war she wields. This depiction shows her as a protector and destroyer of evil. The sari she is adorned in features ornate patterns that display the craftsmanship poured into this sculpture.

Durga: A Timeless Tale of Triumph

Durga's story is one of courage and the ultimate victory of good over evil. Legend tells of the demon Mahishasura, who, through his powerful austerities, received a boon that made him invincible to all men and gods. He terrorized the heavens and the earth, until the combined energies of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva manifested as Durga. Each god bestowed upon her their weapons and strengths. She then confronted and vanquished Mahishasura in a fierce battle that lasted nine days and nights, thus restoring balance to the universe. Durga's nine forms, known as Navadurga, are venerated during the festival of Navratri. Each form represents a different aspect of the Goddess, from maternal love to fierce protection.

The Lion: A Symbol of Divine Power

The lion is not just a mount, but an extension of Durga's own power. Known as "Singh," the lion signifies courage, royalty, and unwavering determination. In many depictions of Durga, the lion is shown actively participating in the battle against evil, mirroring the Goddess's own relentless pursuit of dharma (righteousness). The fierce, majestic presence of the lion perfectly complements Durga's own commanding persona, making them an inseparable symbol of strength and sovereignty.

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.
