Lamps are a significant part of Indian life and culture, which explains the elaborate sculptural tradition surrounding them. No home is complete without one - an ancient tradition stipulates that lamps be lit in ghee in time for duskfall in order to mitigate the dark, which is symbolic of ignorance and evil. Despite the practical function of the same having been overridden with the advent of modern times, this ritual continues to serve its spiritual purpose in Indian homes to this day. A single ghee lamp is lit in a quiet corner, preferably at the altar, in most Indian homes to this day. As for temples and monasteries, tall beauteous lamps as this Nachiyarkoil number are lit in honour of the deities housed within.

From the carved wide-rimmed base emerges a curvaceous stem etched with traditional motifs. At three different points along its length are a profusion of branches with multiwick peripheral lamps. From each static peripheral lamp dangles another. Each of these lamps are simply smaller than but identical to the crowning annam-lamp, so called because of the vine-beaked peacock ('annam' is the Tamil word for peacock) showing off its delicately carved plumage at the centre of each lamp. Each of the protrusions in these lamps has the characteristic shape of the typical South Indian temple gharbhagriha. There are a total of thirty-one five-wick lamps in this gorgeous work of art, which when lit together would add to the resplendence of the brass workmanship.



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.
