Vishnu is “Vishwadhara”- the basis of creation, who brings stability, vitality, and auspiciousness to the world.
His divine stillness as the preserver in Hindu tradition is expressed through his standing icons, where the Chaturbhuja (four-armed) Vishnu stands in Sampadasthanaka (legs placed together, in an upright pose), as the eternal pillar that holds the weight of the world.
In the rich Hoysala style, this bronze statue depicts Vishnu surrounded by a splendid aureole.
With a Kirtimukha emblem on top, the aureole showcases the ingenuity and creativity of the sculptor, who has transformed Yali (lion and horse composite animal, a symbol of royalty)’s trunk into a stylized vegetation element, that adorns the Prabhavali.
Lions in the pillars and lotuses in the brackets of the aureole, enhance the architectural quality of the aureole, infused with components inspired by ancient Hindu temples. Vishnu-Narayana is positioned on a two-tiered lotus pedestal, exquisitely delineated, and adorned by stylized jewelry and attire that brings an elaborate aura to his image. Animated by the calm smile on his face, Sri Vishnu flows as a divine energy in this bronze sculpture.
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. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
