Once upon a time, the Ganges used to flow only in heaven. During a time of great calamity and endless draught, king Bhagiratha did a great penance. Pleased with his selfless sacrifice, Ganges agreed to descend from heaven to the Earth. But the force of water, as the Ganges descended to Earth would have caused a greater destruction. That's when Lord Shiva came to everyone's rescue and bore the brunt of the descending Ganges' force on his divine head of matted hair, letting the divine river on Earth. He has since been known as Gangadhara, the bearer of the Ganges.

This beautiful Brass artifact depicts the head of Gangadhara Shiva in an exquisite feat of handcrafted art. We see his eyes closed in concentration as the mighty Ganges descends through his hair. We see a personification of the divine Ganges herself at the top of this statuesque mask.

Lord Shiva himself is depicted with the usual third eye and a Naga, the cobra snake around his neck. The neelkanth is represented by the three horizontal lines around his throat. The customary crescent moon lies against his hair and the strong downward waves of the river. Lord Shiva is wearing the Naag Kundala, the pronounced snake earrings in his ears. The beads of rudraksha around his neck complete the ornamentation of the fiery ascetic god.

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.
