A beauteous Devi, seated calmly within the mouth of a gigantic lotus bloom. Her legs are gathered in an elegant siddhasana, leaving Her dhoti in lifelike silken creases.
From the navel upwards She is bare but for the janeu and the gold ornaments gracing Her decolletage and earlobes and arms.
She is possessed of no less than four arms; She is the chaturbhujadhari Devi Lakshmi, wife of Lord Vishnu and the presiding deity over wealth and resources.
Devi Lakshmi is the presiding deity over wealth and resources; things that are indispensable to the process of preserving creation as we know it, over which in turn Lord Vishnu is the presiding deity. She is tall and slender and sinewy, with a narrow, tapering crown to match. In the posterior hands of Devi Lakshmi are lotus-buds on the verge of bloom. These are an unmistakable part of Her iconography, like the veena is to Her sister’s (Devi Saraswati).
In line with the same are the karnakundalas, the drops of which are resting in the thick coils of Her hair gathered over Her shoulders. The murti of Devi Lakshmi that you see on this page depicts Her in all the calm and contemplation of the Hindu Devi - the perfectly round face, youthful yet wise beyond its years, soft and pleasing features from the half-shut eyes to the compassionate lips.
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.
