This extremely lovable form of Lord Ganesha depicts him in his royal grandeur with the legs folded in utkutasana and the right ankle supporting his large portly belly.
He is carved here in a simple four-armed figure, yet so uncommon and new in its visual effects. The superfine quality and noble lustre highlights his divine aura.
Ganesha is the foremost deity worshipped in the entire Hindu pantheon before the start of any ritual ceremony; as also prescribed by Vishnu at the time of his birth, that no ritual would accomplish or bear fruits unless it first invoked Lord Ganesha.
Marriage rituals have always been a priority among them. The baby Ganesha figure is lavishly ornamented in dual necklaces and similar designed bracelets and anklets beautifying his hands and legs.
The loose fitted dhoti he wears is carved here in magnificent pleats that form as the legs are folded and the bare torso highlights the bordered stole hung across his shoulders. The rich, gorgeous and majestic turban that he wears on his head is a symbolic representation of Hindu marriage ritual, where the males (mostly from the bride’s side) are adorned with such a turban (pagdi) as identification and also out of respect.
Zoom in to the precise layered carvings of this turban having etched thick striations and a small feather at the top. Ganesha’s posterior hands hold his iconic weapons of destruction of evil and right anterior hand is postured in a blessing mudra while the left holds his favorite sweetmeat laddoo. The floral decorated trunk is ringed in a beautiful accessory and approaches the laddoo, representing his sweet tooth.
The flappy ears generate a shiny resplendent view to the eyes, sculpted in stylized striations; divine eyes and the dark trident mark on forehead show realistic aspects of creation. This sumptuously carved Ganesha sculpture attracts the eyes because of its intense and clear carvings, glossy golden shade and realistic expressions and features of his iconography.
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.
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.
