Karttikeya, the god of war, and general of the army of the gods is the younger son of Siva and Parvati. According to most Pauranic legends he was born from Siva's spurt of semen and was thus conceived without the participation of a female being. He was reared by six Krttikas; hence he is known as Kartikeya.

The son of Siva is seen here with four arms, holding the prescribed attributes. He rides on a peacock called the year (Paravani). The peacock is the killer of serpents which are also seen on either side of Kartikeya; the serpents representing the subtle instincts that bind the spirit of man in his body and Kartikeya defeats that. The serpents, further more, represents the cycle of the years. The peacock is thus the killer of Time. Although he is called the god of war, there is no aggression on his face, which looks peaceful on the contrary. The peacock is modeled gracefully with large wings on either side and its spectacular feathers behind the image. The whole image is enclosed in an oval ring of fire, similar to that which surrounds the Nataraja Siva.

Kartikeya is commonly known as Skanda and Kumara, in South India where he is more popular and has a large cult following.

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.
