Embodiment of Divine Power and Protection

This exquisite brass artifact captures the essence of Lord Shiva's formidable power and protective grace. The meticulously crafted Shikhara, crowned with the iconic Trishul, is a potent symbol of the divine. In Hindu mythology, the Trishul, Shiva's primary weapon, represents the three gunas (Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas), the three aspects of consciousness (waking, dreaming, and deep sleep), and the triad of creation, preservation, and destruction. It is a symbol of Shiva's dominion over these fundamental forces of the universe, signifying his role as the supreme controller and transformer. The Shikhara, or spire, itself is reminiscent of the towering peaks of the Himalayas, the abode of Lord Shiva, and the apex of a temple, pointing towards the heavens. This form symbolizes spiritual ascent and the connection between the earthly realm and the divine. The layered, conical structure of the Shikhara evokes the many strata of existence and the cosmic order that Shiva upholds. Its polished brass surface reflects light, symbolizing enlightenment and dispelling ignorance, much like Shiva's cosmic dance, the Tandava, which destroys illusion and reveals ultimate truth.

A Symbol of Auspiciousness and Spiritual Significance

The presence of this Shikhara in your home or sacred space serves as a constant reminder of Lord Shiva's omnipresence and his role as the destroyer of evil and the bestower of liberation. Shiva is revered as Mahadeva, the Great God, and his devotees seek his blessings for strength, wisdom, and inner peace. The Trishul held aloft signifies his readiness to defend righteousness and vanquish negativity, offering a sense of security and spiritual fortitude to those who invoke his name. In various Puranic tales, the Trishul is depicted as a weapon capable of destroying demons and protecting the innocent. It is also said to represent the three powers of will, action, and knowledge. This brass Shikhara, with its detailed craftsmanship, is not merely an object of art but a conduit for invoking the divine energies associated with Lord Shiva. It can be placed in a puja room, meditation space, or as a distinguished accent piece, radiating an aura of spiritual sanctity and timeless power. The warm glow of the brass further enhances its spiritual aura, making it a captivating and meaningful addition to any devotional or decorative setting.

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.
