The Embodiment of Compassion and Action

This exquisite brass statue depicts Tara, a central figure in Mahayana Buddhism, revered as the mother of liberation and the embodiment of compassionate activity. She is an enlightened being who has attained Buddhahood but has vowed to be reborn in the female form to guide all sentient beings to enlightenment. Tara is particularly known for her swift intervention in times of danger and her ability to overcome obstacles, making her a beloved deity for devotees seeking protection, courage, and spiritual guidance.

Iconography and Symbolism

The statue beautifully captures Tara's dynamic presence. She is depicted in a graceful seated posture, with her right leg extended, symbolizing her readiness to descend and aid those in need. Her left hand is held in the gesture of protection, while her right hand is raised, brandishing a sword. This sword represents the wisdom that cuts through ignorance and delusion, dispelling fear and confusion. In her left hand, she holds a lotus flower, a symbol of purity, enlightenment, and the unfolding of spiritual potential. The intricate crown and ornate jewelry adorning her suggest her royal status as a celestial queen, a benevolent ruler who watches over her followers with unwavering compassion.

Mythological Significance

According to legend, Tara was born from a tear shed by Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, as he gazed upon the suffering of the world. Her compassion was so profound that a lotus flower bloomed from the tear, and from it, Tara emerged. She is said to have manifested in various forms to assist beings, each color and form signifying different aspects of her enlightened activity. The Green Tara, often depicted with a green complexion, is known for her swift action in overcoming obstacles and fears. The White Tara, with a white complexion, symbolizes longevity and healing. This particular representation, with the sword, most closely aligns with the fierce yet compassionate nature of Green Tara, who is invoked to remove hindrances and grant protection.

Artistic Craftsmanship

Crafted from high-quality brass, this statue exhibits a remarkable level of detail and artistry. The warm, lustrous finish of the brass enhances the divine aura of the deity. Every element, from the serene expression on Tara's face to the delicate folds of her robes and the intricate carvings on her adornments, has been meticulously rendered by skilled artisans. The subtle patina achieved through the casting process adds depth and character, making this statue a timeless piece of devotional art that can inspire contemplation and reverence. Its presence can transform any space into a sanctuary of peace and spiritual aspiration.

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.
