Gopi or Gopika is the female counterpart of Gopa- one who keeps Gau (cows) and forms the Vrindavan retinue of Sri Krishna, frolicking with him in the grooves of Brija during Rasa and indulging in loving quarrels with their beloved on numerous occasions. The love of Gopis for Krishna is eternal and pure and lives as the crown jewel of Krishna legends in Hindu tradition. Their proximity to Krishna, the warmth of their relationship with him, and the boundless love they received from the dark-skinned incarnation of Sri Vishnu made the most prolific sages and devotees feel envious. Stunning in beauty and ceaselessly devoted to Krishna, one of the Gopi-Vrinda (group of Gopis) is present in this marvelous brass Gopi statue, carrying pots of Makhan (butter) for Makhanchor (butter-thief) Sri Krishna.

The gopi has a lithesome form whose allure is accentuated by her amazing Tribhanga (triple bent) posture and the curving scarf that falls on her side, framing her gorgeous physique. Her hair is tied in a smooth bun, adorned with Maangtika (head ornament), Karnaphool (circular flower-shaped earrings), Haar (necklace), Baajubanda (armband), a tasseled Mekhala (girdle) and anklets. Intricately patterned dhoti (lower body garment) and matching breast cloth is worn by the brass Gopi, clinging to her form to reveal her natural beauty. While her body is positioned in a dynamic posture, the brass Gopi statue carries an extraordinary stillness, in how she supports the pot on her waist and head. The image is placed on a decorated brass platform, embellished in a rounded manner, just like the statue of the Gopika to give you a fulfilling aesthetic experience. The tasteful use of red and turquoise hued inlay pieces on the glistening brass surface has enhanced the effect of the loveliness of the Gopi, who is provided with simple facial features in order to emphasize more on the idea of being a Gopi instead of any individual persona. Carrying the offering of butter for her darling Krishna, the Gopi is the symbol of selfless and pure love toward the divine that makes a human worthy of being worshipped. 

The Divine Beauty: Exploring the Meaning and Symbolism Behind Krishna Statues

Lord Krishna is known by various other names such as Govinda, Gopala, Giridhari, Madanmohan, Radharaman, Maakhanchor, etc. The Vedic scriptures mention Him as the Supreme Lord, the cause of all causes, and the controller of living entities. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna Himself says that there is no Truth superior to Him and that in all the Vedas, He is to be known. Different people see Him differently. Some people see Him as their son, some as their friend, some as their master, and some as their beloved. He is the source of all pleasure and bliss. There are so many pastimes described in the Vedic literature where it is seen that whoever approached and served Lord Krishna with full faith and devotion, was never bewildered even in the greatest calamities, and was always protected by Him. Lord Krishna is therefore the ocean of mercy.

Lord Krishna expands Himself into different forms to fulfill a particular purpose in the material world. For example, to save His five-year-old devotee Prahlad from the ghastly attacks of his demoniac father Hiranyakashipu, the Lord assumed a special form of half-lion and half-man, Narasimha, and appeared from a stone pillar and killed the demon with His sharp nails. This shows an interesting quality of Lord Krishna. He is very possessive about His devotees. He never tolerates blasphemy against them. Those who try to harm them in any way, the Lord punishes them the hardest way.

Is Krishna statue good at home?

If you want to please Lord Krishna with your service and devotion, keeping the deity of the Lord will be good for you. Wherever there is Krishna, there is opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality. Worshiping the deity is one of the easiest ways to build a strong relationship with the Lord. There is no difference between the deity of Krishna and Krishna Himself. The Lord said in the Bhagavad Gita that we can worship Him by offering Him a leaf, a flower, water, or a fruit. If the Lord is pleased, you will feel great satisfaction within your heart and you will experience transcendental bliss. Therefore, keeping the deity of Lord Krishna at home and following the necessary rules and regulations in the deity worship process is highly auspicious.

Which Krishna statue can be kept at home?

There is nothing more sublime than serving the lotus feet of Lord Krishna for it is the very aim of human life. Therefore, you can worship any form of Lord Krishna as your heart desires. You can either keep the deity of the original two-handed form of Krishna playing His flute or the childhood form of Krishna eating butter. You may also keep the deity of Krishna along with Srimati Radharani, His internal potency. If you want to attract the causeless mercy of the Lord and engage in His offenseless service, worshiping the deity of Lord Jagannath, the most merciful form of Lord Krishna would be the best for you. Lord Jagannath does not take offenses of the devotees and only looks at their good qualities and intentions.

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.
