The supreme proponent of the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna is worshipped as the supreme god in his own right and is also the 8th incarnation of the god Vishnu. He is the most renowned god of all the Indian divinities.
He is regarded as a warrior, a teacher, a hero, and a philosopher by the Hindus. Krishna was dark in complexion and was considered exceptionally handsome.
The word itself translates into black, further translating into mysteriousness. His influence is discerned in several fields such as religion, philosophy, mysticism and literature, painting and sculptures, music and dance, and all the aspects of the rest of the Indian folklore.
The flute or Bansuri symbolizes the divine personality of God and Krishna chose it as a divine musical instrument and thus was also named Murlidhar. It is said that when he played flute, his voice of it was so appealing making every living being and the elements of nature attracted to it. The snake’s head on the flute represents the cobra snake “Kaliya” which Lord Krishna killed while playing the flute signifying the focus on the bliss of the self.
Another thing that catches our eye is how Krishna is standing. He stands with one foot firmly on the ground and the other cross-legged and barely touching the ground, making a Tribhangi pose which implies perfect balance. This sculpture is exquisitely made with brass and painted in golden and black, which offers a very subtle yet royal look. He stands on a Pedestal perfectly and carefully carved. The Dhoti (a type of Sarong) is also carved in a very detailed manner constituting quintessential designs.
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.
