Krishna is a very central and important deity in the rich heritage of Hindu culture. He is the person in whom all the traditions, philosophies, and doctrines find their expression.
Identifying Krishna with a particular personality is impossible because he is very dynamic, ever-changing. While he sometimes dances in blissful ecstasy with Gopis, he is also the one who delivered the timeless wisdom of Geeta to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
People worship him as a Guru (master), a son, a brother, a friend and countless other forms. His child form is particularly the main subject of devotion for his devotees.
Being a very mischievous kid in his childhood, he was famous for stealing butter from the households of his village. Although they pretended to be very disturbed, on the inside, they felt very blessed and delighted that Krishna stole butter from their house. All of the Vrindavan loved Krishna immensely and cared for him with their heart. This beautiful bronze statue portrays Krishna in his loving child form eating butter with his elegant hands.
A butter pot is placed in front of him while he holds butter in his right hand. He is adorned with exquisite pieces of jewellery and a small crown on his head. His face looks innocent as ever and filled with the beauty of simplicity. This elegant piece of art illustrates the child Krishna as a beautiful manifestation of the divine. Keeping this statue will surely add to the beauty of the place.
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.
