In this brass Uma statue, the goddess is placed on an upturned lotus pedestal which is kept on another square platform. With one leg folded and another dangling, the goddess is in the posture of royal ease, known as Lalitasana. “Lalita” also means the beautiful one, which does not even begin to describe the celestial form of Lalita-Tripurasundari- the beautiful one who is the most appealing woman in three realms (Tripura), an epithet used for Uma-Parvati. Her luxurious tresses are tied in a high raising knot, making a Jata-mukuta (crown formed out of locks of hair) with a Shirachakra (circular halo-like hair ornament) which gives her presence an imposing and deific feel. Goddess Uma’s divine form is sparsely decorated with fine ornaments and a Yajnopavita (sacred thread), an artistic trope used to keep the attention on the magnificence of Bhogashakti which needs no embellishments. The use of different patterns and carvings on the legs of Uma-Parvati reveals her delicate and patterned dhoti (lower body garment) that clings to her legs. Assured incised lines on the visage of this Devi Uma brass statue have helped the sculptor bring out the enchanting facial features of the mother goddess. Devi’s left hand is restfully placed on her throne, supporting the weight of her lithesome body, and her right hand is in the “Katakhasta mudra”- a gesture for holding the flower, which the beloved of Shiva offers lovingly to Mahadeva. 

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.

• Another way is to cleanse the statue with mild soap, warm water, and a cotton cloth. You must go to every inch of the statue and even to the crevices and cracks. After this, clean the article with a dry towel to wipe off pools of water left on the surface.

• 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.
