Ganesha, the noble and loyal child of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati is worshipped at the start of every auspicious ceremony and occasion and is considered as the remover of obstacles for which he is often called the God of beginnings and Vighna-harta Ganesha respectively. He is also revered as the patron of science and arts.
The magnificent sculpture that we see here is gold plated which is pleasing to the eyes. The Lord with the head of an elephant representing power, and the body of a human, is relaxing on a recliner designed in the shape of a beautiful Peacock. The sculptor has crafted it with great precision and intricate patterns.
Ganesha has four arms; the upper right arm carries an axe to kill the demons, the left arm carries a noose which symbolizes that he takes away the ignorance within us, the lower right hand is in Abhay Mudra (fear-not gesture), while the left arms rests upon his thigh. He is adorned with a richly embroidered short-length dhoti and several gold ornaments such as a headband, anklets, armlets and neckpieces.
The pot-bellied Ganesha is accompanied by his devoted mount ‘mooshak’, who follows him everywhere. The lord is the deva of intellect and wisdom and grants his devotees the spiritual wisdom to come out of the cycle of birth and death.
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.
