This large size sculpture pair represents two damsels carrying a metal pan meant for a lamp and is popularly known as Deepa Lakshmi. It was around the later half of the 16th century that the DeepaLakshmi statues came into being.

The earliest of these statues were conceived at Vijayanagara and Madurai and were in no time a popular artifact of Nayak and Vijayanagara art styles of South India and a little after of Indian art. They were cast both in metal and clay.

These statues were votive images conceived for Diwali Pooja and with their lamps kindled were used as auspicious motifs to be worshipped along with Lakshmi, the presiding deity of the Deepawali festival, and Ganesha who removed all obstacles. Initially, such statues were gifted to patrons but later they were also sold like other artifacts both for gifts and personal use.

Introducing the Majestic Vijayanagar Deeplakshmi Brass Statues

These exquisite brass statues of Deepalakshmi, the Goddess of Light and Prosperity, are a breathtaking testament to the artistry of the Vijayanagar Empire. Standing at an impressive 43.6 x 13.0 x 15.0 inches, these statues command attention with their intricate details and commanding presence. Each statue is a meticulously crafted masterpiece, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of South India. Deepalakshmi, with her serene expression and graceful posture, holds a traditional oil lamp, symbolizing the illumination and abundance she bestows upon her devotees. The peacocks flanking her, majestic in their own right, are further symbols of beauty, royalty, and spiritual enlightenment. The vibrant golden hue of the brass accentuates the exquisite detailing, bringing the Goddess to life. These statues are not simply decorative pieces; they are powerful symbols of faith, prosperity, and the enduring legacy of the Vijayanagar empire.

The Legacy of Vijayanagara

The Vijayanagara Empire (1336-1646 CE), meaning "City of Victory," reigned over a vast territory in South India, leaving an indelible mark on the region's art, architecture, and culture. Known for its magnificent temples, sophisticated irrigation systems, and thriving trade, the empire also flourished in the arts of metalworking, sculpture, and bronze casting. These statues beautifully capture the style of Vijayanagara sculpture—characterized by its elegance, intricate detailing, and use of flowing lines to depict flowing garments and elaborate jewellery. The craftsmanship reflects the high level of skill and devotion that characterized the artisans of this era. Legends tell of the empire's founders, Harihara and Bukka Raya, blessed by the goddess Lakshmi who ensured their prosperity and victory in battle. These Deepalakshmi statues serve as a powerful reminder of the spiritual and material prosperity associated with the empire’s legacy.

Deepalakshmi: Goddess of Light and Prosperity

Deepalakshmi, a form of the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Vishnu, is a prominent deity in South Indian culture. Lakshmi is revered as the goddess of wealth, fortune, and prosperity. Deepalakshmi specifically embodies the illumination of knowledge and the abundance of blessings. The oil lamp she holds signifies the dispelling of darkness and ignorance, bringing forth knowledge, understanding, and spiritual enlightenment. Many believe that placing a lit lamp before a Deepalakshmi statue invites blessings, prosperity, and positive energy into the home. The meticulously detailed depiction of the goddess, the richness of the brass, and the intricate work on the oil lamp all combine to create an object of reverence and beauty.

Craftsmanship and Detailing

The creation of these statues is a testament to the skill and dedication of Indian artisans. Each piece is meticulously hand-cast in brass using traditional lost-wax casting techniques, a time-honored method passed down through generations. The intricate detailing, from the delicate jewelry adorning Deepalakshmi to the flowing lines of her garments and the graceful postures of the peacocks, is truly remarkable. The high-quality brass ensures a rich, golden hue that will endure for years to come, becoming a treasured heirloom that carries the essence of ancient Indian artistry. These statues are more than just decorative items; they are tangible representations of faith, devotion, and the enduring legacy of the Vijayanagara Empire, bringing a sense of history and spirituality to any space.

Adding a Touch of History and Spirituality to Your Home

These majestic Deepalakshmi statues are more than just decorative pieces—they are powerful symbols that embody the rich cultural heritage of India, the grandeur of the Vijayanagara empire, and the spiritual blessings of Lakshmi. Whether displayed in your home or as a part of a larger collection, these statues will add a touch of history, spirituality, and unparalleled artistic elegance to your space. The statues serve as a daily reminder of the power of light, prosperity, and the enduring strength of faith and devotion. They are destined to be treasured family heirlooms, passed down through generations, carrying with them the stories of the past and the hope for a bright future.

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.
