Introducing the Majestic Karttikeya

This exquisite 18-inch brass statue of Lord Karttikeya, the Hindu god of war, is a masterpiece of South Indian craftsmanship. Hand-crafted with meticulous detail, this statue captures the divine essence of Murugan, another name for Karttikeya, in all his glorious might. The rich, golden hue of the brass beautifully complements the intricate carvings, creating a truly stunning piece that is both visually captivating and spiritually significant. Standing proudly on a detailed pedestal, Karttikeya's posture exudes power and grace, holding his signature weapons - the vel (spear) and the sakti (dagger) - ready for battle, yet radiating a sense of serene divinity. The statue's size allows for a commanding presence in any space, adding a touch of elegance and spiritual depth to your home or temple.

The Mythology of Karttikeya: Son of Shiva and Parvati

Karttikeya, also known as Murugan, Skanda, and Kumara, holds a prominent place in Hindu mythology. Born from the union of Shiva, the destroyer, and Parvati, the goddess of power, his birth itself is shrouded in legend. The story tells of how the gods needed a champion to vanquish the demon Tarakasura, who could only be killed by the son of Shiva. From the sacred flames of Shiva's anger and Parvati's grace, Karttikeya was born, an embodiment of divine power and valour. Six Krittikas, a group of celestial nymphs, nurtured him, and this is why he is also known as "Arumugam," meaning "six faces." His mounts, the peacock and the rooster, further symbolize his regal and energetic nature. The vel he wields is a symbol of his divine authority and unwavering commitment to righteousness. His tales are filled with epic battles, fierce determination, and unwavering devotion to his parents and the gods.

Symbolism and Significance

The statue's design incorporates numerous symbolic elements deeply rooted in Hindu iconography. The peacock, often depicted beneath his feet, represents beauty, grace and spiritual awakening. The rooster symbolizes vigilance and courage. The vel (spear) is a potent weapon representing divine power and justice, while the sakti (dagger) indicates his ability to cut through illusion and ignorance. The numerous ornaments and detailed embellishments on his attire reflect his divine status and majestic nature. Displaying this statue in your home is believed to bring blessings of protection, strength, and spiritual wisdom. It serves as a powerful reminder of the triumph of good over evil and the unwavering devotion to dharma (righteousness).

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.
