Perhaps some of the most engaging aspects of the Krishna legend are the stories of his boyhood. Although his divinity is never left in doubt, it is subordinated to the more human side of his nature. Thus he is described as a mischievous, rather spoilt child, whose mother was inclined to overlook the pranks he played on her and their neighbors. Here the chubby little Krishna is crawling on all fours, lured perhaps towards where his mother stored her ample stock of milk, butter, and curds. In one such famous incident he broke the pitcher containing these delicacies, made a ball of the butter that fell out and played with it. When a complaint was made to his mother, try as she might, she could not be cross with him, as he looked so indulgent. She could only manage to smile at him.

One day, however, it seemed as if he had gone too far, and was caught on all fours eating soil from the ground. When he was reproached by his mother, he denied that he had done so, and invited her to look in his mouth and see for herself. And here the legend finds it necessary to remind us that Krishna is, after all, the supreme god, and tells us that when his mother looked into his mouth, she saw the universe with all its tangible aspects.

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.
