Goddess Parvati with baby Ganesh is one of the most beautiful visual narratives, an image that tells the story of divine motherhood and the incomprehensible love shared by a mother and her child. In this brass image, you can see Maa Parvati, appearing godly, heavenly dressed, embracing Sri Ganesh, both seated on an ornate lotus platform, eye-catching due to a realistic treatment of petals, vines, and stems.
Devi Parvati has a sun-like halo behind her crowned head. She is wearing dehri, disc-shaped earrings, a jewelled necklace, and a flower-crested waist belt clasping her shapely waist. A long necklace with petal-shaped motifs frames the figure of Parvati. Her upper body is bare, an iconographic device used to highlight the features of fertility such as rounded breasts, in mothers and mother-goddesses. The goddess is four-armed and holds a conch (Vishnu’s attribute), snake (Shiva’s ornament), and a blossoming lotus flower (Brahma’s attribute and point of origin) in three hands. Together, these individual features signify the great-mother Mahadevi Parvati’s position above the Trideva or three gods, she being an amalgamation of their potencies. On her folded leg, an adorable baby Ganesh is sitting. This artistically intricate brass murti is an artist’s dedication to the greatness of the Jagadamba (Amba, meaning mother +of the Jagat or universe).

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.
