Product Description
Collectible Figurines Hindu Religious Statue Brass Sculpture of Goddess Kali. Statue Sculpture of Goddess Kali is worshipped as the Goddess of destruction, a fearful manifestation of Parvati, an incarnation of the Devi or Mother Goddess. In Hindu mythology, the Gods were troubled by the fearsome demon Raktabija. Fighting with the demon Raktabija was an impossible feat because every drop of his blood that fell to the ground, gave rise to another demon. The Gods went to Shiva the god of destruction in the Hindu trinity - for help. Shiva was deep in meditation but his consort Parvati decided to act and in the ferocious form of Kali set out to kill the demon. Brass is any alloy of copper and zinc; the proportions of zinc and copper can be varied to create a range of brasses with varying properties. Brass is a substitutional alloy. Brass has a muted yellow color, somewhat similar to gold. It is relatively resistant to tarnishing, and is often used as decoration and for coins. The craft is practiced by the people of the Kansari caste who can be broadly described as metalsmiths while a particular variety, dhokra, is practiced mainly by sithulias and hand carved by some of the finest sculpture artists of India. The largest concentration of the former is Kantilo and Balakati in Puri district although fairly substantial numbers are found in Cuttack, Ganjam and Sambalpur districts.
