The Fierce Protector: A Bronze Depiction of Devi Varahi

This exquisite bronze statue captures the powerful and often fearsome form of Devi Varahi, one of the Matrikas, or mother goddesses, in Hinduism. Her iconography is distinct and commanding, featuring the head of a sow, a creature associated with earth, nourishment, and sometimes, primal power. In this finely crafted piece, she is depicted seated in a regal posture, her gaze steady and her presence palpable. The patina of the bronze hints at age and reverence, adding a layer of authenticity and spiritual depth to the sculpture.

Mythological Significance and Symbolism

Devi Varahi is often invoked for protection, victory over enemies, and prosperity. Her association with the sow is deeply symbolic. The sow is known for its ability to root out hidden treasures from the earth, symbolizing Varahi's power to uncover hidden truths and bestow material wealth. She is also seen as a fierce protector, capable of destroying obstacles and vanquishing negative forces, much like a sow defends its young with ferocity. In some traditions, she is believed to have played a crucial role in battles against demons, her sow-like features representing her untamed, primal strength that is essential for overcoming great evils. Her presence in the pantheon of goddesses highlights the multifaceted nature of divine feminine power, encompassing both nurturing and formidable aspects.

Artistic Craftsmanship and Devotional Appeal

The artist has skillfully rendered Devi Varahi in solid bronze, a material traditionally used for creating durable and sacred objects. The details of her attire, the serene yet powerful expression on her face, and the symbolic objects she holds are all meticulously crafted. The seated posture suggests tranquility and authority, while her multiple arms indicate her omnipresence and ability to act in various ways simultaneously. The subtle verdigris that has formed over time on the bronze adds a unique character and beauty, suggesting that this piece has been cherished and perhaps even worshipped for years. This statue is not merely an artistic creation; it is a conduit for devotion, an embodiment of divine energy that can bring a sense of peace, strength, and protection to any sacred space or home altar. Its compact size makes it ideal for personal worship, meditation spaces, or as a meaningful addition to a collection of devotional art.

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.
