The Benevolent Mother

This meticulously crafted brass sculpture embodies the powerful Hindu Goddess, revered throughout South India for her life-affirming blessings. She is the embodiment of strength and compassion, embodying the nurturing power of motherhood and the fierce protection against adversity. The very presence of this statue brings an aura of healing and tranquility into any space.

The Goddess of Rain and Healing

Often considered an incarnation of Parvati, the consort of Shiva, Mariamman is deeply rooted in the rural traditions of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra. Her name, which translates to "Mother Mari," reflects her role as a protector and provider. The Goddess is primarily associated with rain, fertility, and, most significantly, the prevention and cure of diseases like smallpox and chickenpox. The belief in her power stems from ancient times when diseases were often attributed to divine displeasure. Worshipping her provides solace and hope for relief from suffering. She is also a patron of agriculture, ensuring a bountiful harvest for her devotees. The iconography of the sculpture, rendered in exquisite detail, speaks volumes about her divine attributes. The cobra hood rising behind her head is an element derived from village deities, who were associated with snakes and protectors of the soil. Her four arms represent her immense power and ability to provide blessings and protection. In each hand she holds weapons and objects associated with her healing and protective powers. Seated in a posture of regal ease, she exudes an aura of serenity and authority, a testament to her compassionate yet commanding nature. This brass statue would make a meaningful addition to any home, shrine, or sacred space. Its timeless design and symbolic significance makes it a treasured heirloom to be passed down through generations, a tangible reminder of the enduring power of faith, healing, and the divine feminine.

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.
