Yuddha Ganapati- the form of Ganesha all decked up for his battles with the evil and negative energies of the universe, is a potent manifestation of the elephant-faced deity, revered amongst his followers as a swift and benevolent savior. In this brass Ganesha statue, Yuddha Ganapati appears in a four-armed form, wearing a short dhoti and exquisite ornaments. The brilliance of his formidable stance is enhanced by the seamless polish of brass, which adds an aesthetic and divine aura to the statue. Ganesha's face carries a sublime effect, with the Trishula on his forehead and eyes gazing directly at the onlooker. Worshipped by the Mushaka who stands in awe of his Lord, Yuddha Ganapati cleanses the mind of all troubles, instilling a deep reverence to the Prathama-Poojya (first revered) Ganesha.

This brilliant standing image of the four-armed elephant-headed Ganesh, carrying goad, trident, noose, and mace and wearing an impenetrable helmet on his head, represents him in his Yuddha Ganapati form. Interestingly, the soft, simple, benign Lord invariably carried one or the other instrument of war and manifested in forms that related to war or battle Vijaya Ganapati, Ugra Ganapati, Sankalpa Ganapati…., but he is not known to have ever resorted to arms against any power, good or bad. Annoyed by the moon's mockery of him, he once hurled on it one of his tusks. The Ganesh-related myths record just this sole act of his violence.


Hence, a warrior-like form, equipped with deadly weapons, appears to contradict the deity's total personality and concept. It is not, however, so. All wars, at least such as Ganesh-like divinities undertake, are not fought on the battlefield. Ganesh symbolises the war that endlessly goes on within good conscience waging against evil, and the spirit against its material bondage. Goad, noose, mace and trident are faculties of the intrinsic being. Goad is the instrument that keeps the conscience alert and forward-moving. Noose keeps all faculties collected, and also drags evil to the right path, but in case it continues to persist, mace crushes it or trident pierces. The helmet, designed with a crown-like forepart and spiral apex, depicts the crowning glory of the mind and its spiral rise. In analogy, while meditating on the Yuddha Ganapati form, the mind is able to collect all its faculties and confront evil more effectively.


The posture of Ganapati reveals determination, an aspect of Yuddha Ganapati. Yuddha war or battle, is perceived as involving a lot of activity, but the Yuddha Ganapati form does not involve any. It is actually the form to meditate on and realise in the mind. It is hence devoid of all acts. Only the right foot has a little forward thrust denoting the right direction. In Indian tradition, the left denotes dissolution, decay and transition and the right, right path. In 'tandava', Shiva raised his left leg, as it aimed at dissolving the cosmos. When performing the 'bhanwara' ritual circumambulating the ritual fire, during a marriage ceremony in India, the bride lifts her left leg first, while the groom, his right. The bride dissolves former ties, and the groom is imperative to take her and himself to the right path. Ganesh, when he is invoked in the form showing a forward move, keeps the devotee on the right path. Hence, Yuddha Ganapati icons are modelled with a forward thrust.


This 33-inch tall brass image, anodised to impart a silver look, and jewellery, crown, loincloth, and lotus petals, that of gold, has the moon's soothing softness and sun's glow. The square base with a straight vertical rise is plain except for lotus motifs carved on the base plate. On its left, stands a mouse, the vehicle of Ganesh. The deity figure stands on a seat comprising a large size full blooming lotus. The lotus, comprising a perfect circle and hence symbolizing the earth, suggests that Ganapati pervades the entire creation with his auspicious presence. The most attractive feature of the image is its brilliant jewellery including crown and his body complexion. Each piece of jewellery appears to have come directly from a jeweller's shop. He has, around his waist, Nagabandha, a serpent belt, large unfurled ears, thoughtful eyes, and a beautiful floral motif on his trunk. In its aesthetic beauty, the image is unparalleled.

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.
