Product Description India Statue of Hindu Goddess Durga Sitting on Lion Brass Sculpture. India statue of Durga is worshipped as an incarnation of the Mother Goddess or Devi, who appears when evil demons threaten the world. She is revered as a form of the Divine Force, who is victorious in the battle against evil. In Hindu legend, the powerful demon Mahishasura had taken the form of a giant buffalo and went on an unstoppable rampage. The Gods were unable to defeat him and appealed to Shiva - one of the supreme trinity of Indian Gods. Shiva advised them to combine their shakti or divine energy, for only then could they quell Mahishasura. The combined energies of the Gods manifested itself in the female form of Durga - a beautiful and powerful Goddess with ten arms. Provided with weapons by the Gods and seated on a lion, she set out to do battle with Mahishasura and his demon army.This statue sculpture is a beautiful religious gift for your friends and relatives.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.
