As the Rig-Veda perceives him and as the term ‘Vish’ means in Sanskrit, Vishnu is one who expands beyond the ‘known’ and even the ‘unknown’, that is, one who pervades the known and unknown spaces – the cosmos, and accordingly developed his iconography.
When lying over the Kshirasagara and on the great serpent Shesh symbolising ‘the known’ and the ‘unknown’, he spans the cosmos with his body stretched over and beyond it, and when standing, by his strides. In one form he pervades the cosmos by his mere presence, and in the other, treads it across and beyond just by his feet.
This brass-cast, anodized in gold and deep blue, Vishnu’s body colour as various texts have visualised it, to discover various parts, ornaments and costume, and for creating effects, represents Lord Vishnu, one of the Great Trinity and world’s sustainer.
Appropriately to his form, he has been represented as carrying in three of the four hands his usual attributes disc, conch and mace, and assuring with the fourth, held in the gesture of ‘abhaya’, freedom from fear.
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.
