The Goddess Kali signifies as divine mother Sakti capable of destruction and creation of life. She is synonymous with strength, courage, confidence, and positivity. As per Devi Mahatmya, Goddess Kali came into existence from the wrath of Goddess Durga to slay the demon Raktabija. He was one such asura who had the power to split into hundreds of new Raktabijasuras from the drop of his blood but Goddess Kali with her enormous skill lap up the blood before it could reach the ground and emerge victorious on the battlefield. Good anger emerges from the noble vision and is directed towards injustice and ignorance. In every battle Goddess, Kali overcame negative forces and achieved victory on truth.
The bronze statue of Goddess Kali exemplifies the aspect of courage and valor that inspires strength and power in others. The Goddess is depicted with many hands bearing diverse weapons, the severed head of a demon, and a bowl to prevent his blood from touching the ground. Usually, Goddess Kali’s terrifying demeanor is suggested in most of the statues or paintings wherein she exhibited in the state of rage or fury with a tongue sticking out but in this bronze statue divine mother is seated on a decorative pedestal after attaining victory on her enemies through her brilliance, beauty, and unparalleled strength. Her body is adorned with exquisite ornaments rather than skulls. The calm and contented expression on her face celebrates the ultimate truth. Here she is presented as a Supreme Energy who is ready to bestow her devotees with innumerable blessings. Her Shakti helps to face challenges and in her presence negative forces fade away, irrespective of how strong they appear to be. The Goddess inspires everyone to overcome obstacles that arise at different steps and emerge victoriously.
Eternal Brilliance Unveiled: The Mystique of Panchaloha Bronze and Artful Maintenance Rituals
Bronze is a metal alloy that has the primary composition of Copper and Tin. There is also an addition of other metals such as Manganese, Aluminium, Nickel, and some non-metals such as Phosphorus. This composition of several metals and non-metals makes Bronze an extremely durable and strong metal alloy. It is for this reason that Bronze is extensively used for casting sculptures and statues. Since Bronze has a low melting point, it usually tends to fill in the finest details of a mould and when it cools down, it shrinks a little that makes it easier to separate from the mould.
" If you happen to have a bronze statue, simply use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or any other natural oil to clean the statue. "
A village named Swamimalai in South India is especially known for exceptionally well-crafted Bronze icons of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. The skilled artisans of this place use Panchaloha Bronze for casting the icons. Panchaloha Bronze is made of five metals; Copper, Zinc, Lead, and small quantities of Gold and Silver. Zinc gives a golden hue to the finished figure and Lead makes the alloy softer for the easy application of a chisel and hammer. The common technique for producing these statues and sculptures is the “Lost-wax” method. Because of the high durability of bronze sculptures and statues, less maintenance is required, and can still last up to many decades.
