See It In Your Home
Devi Ushnishavijaya is the Buddhist manifestation of Devi Durga. Even though there is nothing wrathful about Her, there are iconographic similarities between the two devi deities. Devi Ushnishavijaya is instantly recognisable from Her eight hands (She is ashtabhujadhari) and four heads (chatursheeshadhari).
In addition to the multitude of limbs and heads, She holds in one of Her hands a Buddha figurine. Devi Ushnishavijaya is the victor (‘vijaya’) over the stoopa (‘ushnisha’) on top of the Buddha’s head. The murti that you see on this page has been sculpted in keeping with her special iconography as well as traditional Nepalese-Buddhist elements.
A pedestal of layered gold petals, upon which She is seated in padmasana. The hems of Her robe are spread about Her gathered limbs. Her erect spine bears a subtle lateral curve, while Her shoulders and torso are bedecked with sashes and jewels. Chunky gold karnakundalas set off the beauty of Her delicately featured face. Nimnamukhi (downward facing) as She is, beneath the five-spired crown is a countenance of equanimous and withdrawn composure. Together with the superbly defined mudra of each of Her laterally extended hands and the asymmetry of the midline, this Ushnishavijaya murti makes for a striking silhouette.
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.
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.
