Lord Krishna is as handsome as Lord Gopala, His baala-roopa (infant form), is adorable. Since His arrival in Vrindavan from Mathura, He had won the hearts of the local mothers and maidens alike. The murti that you see on this page captures Him in the signature tribhanga stance and, as such, is a visual narrative that explains the amorous aspect of His leela (divine conduct).
A small, oval-shaped face. Bright eyes complemented by a dreamy brow. The Vaishnava tilaka, indicative of the fact that He is a Vishnu-avatara. A tall crown and a supersized halo that contrast with the delicate proportions of that handsome face. A finely sculpted, chaturbhujadhari (possessed of four arms) form. While the posterior hands wield the implements associated with the iconography of Vishnu Himself, the fingers of the anterior hands cradle a flute as long and slender as Himself. Ample adornments, an expression of His status as the most widely revered Vishnu-avatara.
Note the tassels dangling from the wrists of His posterior hands, the fishtailed sashes cascading down His hips, and the curvaceous sprigs that frame His face. These aesthetic details sets this murti apart from your run-of-the-mill Krishna murtis. From the zenith of His crown to the base of the pedestal, this composition is characterised by a world of engravings of traditional motifs. These add to the auspiciousness of the work.
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.
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.
