Ushnishavijaya is one of the three main Buddhist deities of longevity, along with the White Tara and Amitayus.

She has been depicted here as visualized according to her sadhana, which says :

'She has three faces and eight arms. Her faces are slightly wrathful in appearance, but each face has three peaceful eyes. Her two main arms hold a double thunderbolt (vajra), her upper right hand holds a small image of the Buddha, her second right hand holds an arrow, and her lower right hand is palm up in the charity mudra.'

'Of her left hands, the upper one holds a lasso, the one beneath it holds a bow and the lower left hand holds the long-life vase filled with nectar.'

She is very youthful and graceful, and wears many jeweled ornaments and silk robes. She is seated cross-legged with her legs closely locked, and the soles of her feet apparent. Her large earrings are shared between her front and side faces, and each side face has one earring in back. Her hair is up in a double knot.

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.
