Balaji (the strong one), Tirupati (Lord or Pati of Goddess of Wealth or Tiru, Lakshmi), and Venkateshwara (Lord or Ishwara of Venkata hill) are all names used to evoke a form of Sri Vishnu, the Hindu preserver god, who resides in the Tirupati temple of Andhra Pradesh. In this brilliantly modeled Sri Venkateshwara brass icon, the Lord of Tirumala is presented in a glorious four-armed form, regally ornamented and oozing a divinity that reassures the devotee of his omnipresent benevolence.


Tirupati Balaji stands in the Kayavalambita posture- standing straight with his primary left hand on his thigh on a two-tiered golden lotus pedestal. Enchanting ornaments adorn the otherworldly body of this brass icon of Venkateshwara, who is an earthly form of the Lord of Vaikuntha Sri Vishnu, from whom originates all beauty in the world.

The distinctive conical Kiritamukuta crown with a peacock feather centerpiece and floral patterns within a criss-cross pattern made with incised lines adds an arresting element to the Sri Venkateshwara brass icon. Beautifying his ethereal form are golden necklaces, Makara kundala (Makara being a Hindu symbol of royalty and beauty), flower patterned Bajubanda (armbands), Kada (bracelet), Udarbandha (belly belt), Yajnopavita (sacred thread), Nupur (anklet) and an ornate Mekhala (girdle) with Kirtimukha (face of glory) motif in the center followed by a series of delicate golden floral tassels that fall lavishly on the rich golden dhoti of Tirupati Balaji.


The dhoti (lower body garment) of this brass Venkateshwara icon is artistically delineated with identical marks all over the legs of the Lord, giving the dhoti an elaborate appearance. In two of his hands, Sri Venkateshwara carries the Vaishnava attributes- Shankha (conch) and Chakra (discus) between his fingers that form a scissor-like gesture. Balaji’s right hand in this brass statue is in the gesture of disseminating boons or the Varada-hasta.


On the reverse of this Tirupati Balaji icon, you can observe finer details such as tresses of hair, a floral Shirachakra (hair ornament), strings of the belly belt, and tassels of the dhoti which speak for the attention the sculptor has given to this divine sculpture. True to his iconography in the famed shrines of South India, this brass Sri Venkateshwara icon in your place of worship will bring to you the blessings of the Lord of Tirumala, whose compassionate presence protects his devotees from the troubles of Kaliyuga.

Why is Balaji’s face covered?

The beautiful transcendental form of Lord Venkateshwara Balaji is unique in so many ways. He stands bearing four arms holding a conch shell (Panchajanya) and a disc (Sudarshan Chakra) in His upper hands. While His lower arms are in different mudras to bless His devotees. He is elaborately decorated with several ornaments that look immensely beautiful. But there is something very interesting about His eyes. His forehead bears a white huge mark or Tilak known as Urdhva Pundra that covers most parts of His eyes. The reason behind this is often given that the devotees who come to take the Darshan of Lord Balaji cannot withstand the effulgence coming out of His glorious eyes and therefore the white mark or mask covers His eyes.

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.

 

  • The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

 

 

  • To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.


  • 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.
