The Divine Mother's Embrace

This exquisite brass statue depicts the powerful and benevolent Goddess Mariamman, a revered deity in South Indian folk traditions. Mariamman, often invoked as a protector against disease and a bestower of prosperity and rain, embodies fierce maternal energy and divine grace. Her presence is associated with the scorching heat of the sun, but also with the life-giving coolness of rain, a duality that underscores her role as a sustainer and healer. In this commanding form, she stands adorned with symbols of her power and authority, inviting devotion and offering solace.

Iconography of Power and Protection

The artistry of this brass sculpture is evident in every meticulously crafted detail. The Goddess's headdress is crowned by a multi-headed cobra, a potent symbol in Hinduism representing protection, cosmic energy, and rebirth. The cobra's hoods spread wide, suggesting an aura of formidable power and vigilance, ready to ward off any harm. In her hands, she holds significant iconography. The trident (Trishul) in one hand, often associated with Lord Shiva, signifies the three aspects of existence – creation, preservation, and destruction – and the ability to overcome obstacles. In her other hand, she grasps a coiled serpent, another powerful symbol of transformation and the cycle of life. The presence of a snake is deeply intertwined with Mariamman's lore, as she is often depicted as having control over serpents, which themselves are linked to fertility and the earth's bounty. Her serene yet determined expression emanates strength and compassion, captivating the viewer's gaze.

A Symbol of Resilience and Grace

Mariamman is widely worshipped for her ability to cure illnesses, particularly smallpox and other infectious diseases, earning her the epithet "Goddess of Rain" and "Mother Goddess." Legends recount her emerging from anthills, signifying her connection to the earth and her power to heal and protect its inhabitants. Her worship often involves fervent rituals and offerings, reflecting the deep faith and reliance people place upon her benevolent intervention. This brass statue serves as a tangible representation of that devotion, a conduit to her blessings for protection, health, and well-being. The lustrous finish of the brass enhances the divine aura of the sculpture, making it a striking centerpiece for any sacred space or home altar. Its substantial presence and intricate design speak to the enduring power and cultural significance of Goddess Mariamman.

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.
