Embodiment of Divine Power and Devotion

This exquisite brass statue, meticulously crafted in Nepal, captures the divine form of Garuda, the celestial Vahana, or mount, of Lord Vishnu. Garuda, revered as the king of birds, is a powerful and benevolent deity in Hindu mythology, known for his immense strength, speed, and unwavering loyalty. His presence is a symbol of victory over evil, protection, and swift justice. The depiction of Garuda in a posture of humble reverence, with hands pressed together in Anjali Mudra, is particularly profound. This gesture, commonly seen in prayer and salutation, reveals a spiritual depth that complements his formidable might. It speaks to the universal truth that even the most powerful beings can express deep devotion and surrender. The snakes coiled around his neck and arms, while seemingly contradictory to his role as a slayer of serpents, symbolize his mastery over primal forces and his ability to transcend them. In many tales, Garuda is not merely an enemy of Nagas, but also their conqueror and protector against their malevolent influences.

Artistry and Symbolism in Brass

The choice of brass for this statue is significant. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is known for its durability, malleability, and lustrous sheen, which lends itself beautifully to intricate sculpting. The patina that develops over time on brass statues adds a unique character and depth, hinting at the antiquity and reverence associated with such sacred objects. The skilled artisans of Nepal, with their centuries-old traditions of metalwork, have brought this form to life with remarkable detail. The stylized wings, the ornate crown, the patterned leggings, and the finely rendered facial features all contribute to the statue's captivating aesthetic. The base upon which Garuda kneels is not merely a platform but a piece of art in itself, adorned with decorative motifs that elevate the overall grandeur of the piece. This statue is more than just an object of art; it is a tangible representation of spiritual narratives and a testament to the enduring artistic heritage of the region. Its presence can bring a sense of peace, protection, and divine auspiciousness to any space.

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.
