- Bhuvaneshvari is a Hindu goddess who is often regarded as the supreme goddess of the universe, representing the infinite space and all its manifestations
- She is seated in the lalitasana with one foot hanging down the lotus base while holding a noose and an elephant goad
- The goddess holds her right hand in the varada mudra of granting boons and her left hand n the abhaya mudra of protection
- Bhuvaneshvari is a handmade bronze sculpture cast by the artist Muthu and his family in South India using the lost wax process, a skill passed on for generations since the Chola period
This polished bronze statue of Bhuvaneshvari is a small but striking piece of art that beautifully captures the essence of the revered Hindu goddess. Seated in the lalitasana posture, Bhuvaneshvari exudes a sense of calm and tranquility, with her four arms each holding a symbolic object: her front right hand in the abhaya mudra, radiating protection and fearlessness, while her left hand is in the varada mudra, symbolizing blessings and boons for her devotees.
In her back right hand, she holds a goad, symbolizing her power and ability to guide and lead, while her back left hand holds a noose, representing her ability to bind and control. The intricately detailed features of Bhuvaneshvari's face and body are a testament to the artist's skill and attention to detail, with every curve and line of her form carved with precision and care.
The lotus base on which Bhuvaneshvari sits adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the piece, enhancing the overall aesthetic. This small bronze statue of Bhuvaneshvari is a remarkable representation of her power and grace, and is a valuable addition to any collection of Hindu deities.
About the Golden Polish: This bronze sculpture has been polished after casting giving it a golden shine. Polished bronze murtis are often used in temples. Temples prefer the polished bronze because the rituals involved in puja often involve bathing the bronze deity, abisheka, which naturally removes the bronze patina of an older piece. Over time and with no periodic care the golden polish will naturally dull to form a dark patina that is naturally found on aged bronze.
"The sculpture chooses you. You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."
Founder, Lotus Sculpture
Bronze is an extremely durable metal made from a combination of 5 metals; copper, iron, tin, with minute additions of silver and gold. This combination is called Panchaloha bronze and is the basis for making the sacred Hindu temple statues of India and the world. Copper is the most prevalent metal in the alloy. Copper also gives the metal a softer composition that allows the bronze artisans to carve the details that are prevalent in each piece.
All the South Indian bronze sculpture Lotus Sculpture carries are Panchaloham and thus suited for any home altar or community temple.
If you would like the piece to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the bronze statue.
Because of the durability of the metal not much is needed to maintain a bronze sculpture. Many of our customers purchase a bronze statue and perform daily puja and abhisheka consisting of bathing the Hindu deity in ghee, milk, coconut milk or other liquids. In this case nothing is needed to keep the statue clean as it will be bathed daily. If the sculpture is used for "darshan" or simply viewing the sculpture it is best to dust the statue as needed so no dirt collects in the details of the sculpture. For both polished golden bronzes and antique patina bronze statues if you would like the sculpture to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the piece as needed.
Many of our bronze Hindu statues have been placed in outdoor temples. Bronze's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine. Both indoors and outdoors a bronze statue can be left alone which, overtime, will give the bronze an antique patina.
On some bronze statues you can see small hints of lime green, verde-gris patina. Some people prize this color for its age others want to remove it. If you would like to remove the verde-gris use a tooth brush with some coconut oil or other natural oil and lightly go over the verde-gris. This should remove the unwanted patina from the sculpture.
