Shiva literally means "the auspicious one". In Hinduism, he is known as the Destroyer within the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity, that includes Brahma and Vishnu. In Shaivism tradition, Shiva is one of the supreme beings who creates, protects and transforms the universe. One of his titles, Nataraja, is a depiction of Lord Shiva as the divine dancer. His dance form is called Tandavam or Nadanta, depending on the context.
Here, the prancing moments of the amazing Shiva are encapsulated fantastically in an exotic brass statue along with an Inlay pattern that carves itself in astounding fashion providing it a circular, floral frame that compliments the dance movements of the Nataraja as he comfortably sets him up on a dwarfy figure that depicts ignorance.
The sculpture finely gives perfect fashion to the facial features of the deity, complimenting them by a Teeka that is adorned between its delicately carved eyebrows, as it is enveloped in vibrant clothes with hues of exquisite red, blue and green colours, festooned with serpents, that form an illuminating aureole around his head. The deity blesses the Hindus with his flower-embellished right hand and the other two hands support him to dance, while the exotic tail of his dress hovers in the air for an eternity, as he enjoys the rhythm, with each sway.
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.
