Goddess Parvati has her name signifying the ‘Goddess of mountains’ as she is the daughter of King Himavat (King of mountains). This snowy white marble statue is carved in such a mesmerizing beauty that it aptly highlights goddess’ gentle aspects of beauty and benevolence. She is the goddess of love, fertility, devotion and represents the universal feminine energy in Hinduism, identified as Shakti. Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva represents the recreative energy and power of Shiva.
Goddess sits here in lalitasana on a stylized pedestal carved in fresh blooming lotus petal patterns decorated with gold borders. She is typically garbed in a red sari but here the beautifully flowing white sari expresses her purity, peacefulness and divinity. Golden adornments that cover her body complement to that of her pure pearl white attires. Unlike her usual iconographic posture of hands, she sits here with her hands joined in anjali mudra as a gesture of her composure and divine offering.
Have a precise look at the expression of her eyes, spreading an aura of gentleness and spirituality along with the delicate smile of her red lips. The goddess is glorified in a haloed crown profusely studded with silver stones. Parvati’s vahana Lion, sits bowing down in obeisance near her feet on the pedestal.
How to clean and maintain marble statues?
Marble has been a preferred material for sculptors and artists for more than a thousand years. It is a rock that undergoes metamorphism which causes recrystallization of the original carbonate mineral grains. Marble comes in various colors, designs, and dimensions. Pure white marble is the most preferred type of marble for making sculptures and statues since time immemorial. White marble is especially used for sculpting stone monumental sculptures since ancient times. The natural shine and luster of the carbonate crystals of white marble give a lavish and beautiful appearance to the statue.
Marble stone statues are highly durable and can even withstand harsh weather conditions without getting corroded, therefore, they can be kept indoors or outdoors without getting damaged or weathered. Although these statues can last for many decades, their regular care and cleaning are essential to increase their longevity and beautiful appearance.
Marble statues need periodical cleaning to maintain their flawless look. However, harsh and deep cleaning can result in making the statue look dull. If your marble statue is withering away, it is recommended to take the help of a professional cleaner. Marble is a delicate material and therefore needs proper care.
