Who is this,
dressed like a crazy woman,
robed with the sky?
Whom does She belong to?
She has let down Her hair,
Thrown off Her clothes,
strung human hands around Her waist,
and taken a sword in Her hand.
Her face sparkles
from the reflection of Her teeth,
and Her tongue lolls out.
The smile on the moon-face drips
heaps and heaps of nectar.

Mother,
are you going to rescue us
in this outfit?

---------------------------Kamalakanta Bhattacharya (ca. 1769-1821)

The above devotee poet pays a befitting homage to Kali, a spectacular manifestation of the Indian Mother Goddess. Kali differs in her physical appearance from other goddesses. In comparison to their 'conventional' beauty, Kali's personality comes forth as gruesome and wrathful. Poised in an energetic posture of vigorous dynamism, her right leg rests on the mutilated head of a demon. This is but the demon of ignorance which prevents us from seeing the True Reality behind the external veneer of the Great Mother. The sword of wisdom which achieved this objective is brandished threateningly by Kali. One left hand holds a similarly severed head as a trophy, while the other left arm supports a bowl in which she collects the blood of her victims. The lower right significantly makes the gesture of reassurance. This last would seem a contradiction to those unfamiliar with the true nature of this affectionate goddess. For the believers this is but the essence of their beloved Kali. By making this gesture the goddess inspires in the heart of her devotees the true realization that her violence is but in harmony with the rhythms of nature, in which we all must find our own resonance.

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.
