15" Vibrant Brass Nandi Statue with Multicolor Artistic Finish

Q1. What is the significance of placing a Nandi idol in the puja room?

Ans:  Placing a Nandi idol in the puja room holds deep spiritual significance, especially in Shaivite traditions. Nandi is considered the gatekeeper and the most devoted attendant of Lord Shiva. Keeping a Nandi statue facing the Shiva Linga is believed to enhance spiritual connection, increase concentration during prayer, and invite divine energies into the space. It symbolizes loyalty, strength, and unwavering devotion.

Q2. Is this Nandi statue handcrafted or machine-made?

Ans:  This Nandi statue from Harishyam Arts is entirely handcrafted by skilled Indian artisans using traditional methods of brass casting. Every piece is a result of hours of detailed craftsmanship, followed by an artistic multicolor finishing process. As each item is handmade, slight variations in texture and design make every statue unique and full of character, ensuring you own a one-of-a-kind artwork.

Q3. Can this Brass Nandi Idol be placed outdoors in a garden or temple courtyard?

Ans:  Yes, the brass Nandi statue can be placed in temple courtyards or garden areas, especially if the space is used for meditation or worship. However, since it has a multicolor artistic finish, it's best to place it in a covered area or under a shade to preserve the colors over time. The solid brass build ensures durability and resistance to weather, making it suitable for semi-outdoor spiritual settings.

Q4. Is the multicolor finish done with paint or traditional techniques?

Ans:  The multicolor artistic finish on this Nandi Murti is achieved through traditional patina and enamel techniques, not regular paint. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also reflects India’s rich heritage of temple art. These colors are applied carefully by hand, using a combination of ancient methods and modern artistry to give the idol a vibrant and auspicious appearance that remains visually striking for years.

Q6. Is this Nandi idol suitable for gifting during special occasions?

Its majestic presence and symbolic value make it a cherished gift that conveys blessings, protection, and divine grace. It’s especially well-received by those who appreciate traditional Indian art and Vastu-friendly decor.

• Keep in a Covered Space or Indoors:  To preserve the multicolor artistic finish, it's best to place the idol indoors or in a well-sheltered area such as a puja room or home temple.
  
  

• Avoid Direct Sunlight & Moisture:  Exposure to direct sunlight, humidity, or water can cause fading of the colors and dulling of the brass. Always keep the idol away from water sources and damp corners.
  
  

• Dust Gently on a Regular Basis:  Use a soft, dry cotton or microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface of the statue. Regular dusting helps maintain its shine and keeps intricate details clean.
  
  

• Do Not Use Harsh Chemicals or Metal Polishes:  Avoid commercial brass cleaners, abrasive powders, or acidic solutions. These can corrode the surface and damage the vibrant enamel or color detailing.
  
  

• Polish Only the Plain Brass Areas (Optional):  If the plain brass sections lose their shine over time, a very mild, non-abrasive brass polish can be used. Take extreme care to avoid the painted areas.
  
  

• Handle with Clean, Dry Hands:  Oils and moisture from hands can affect the finish. Always handle with clean, dry hands, and if possible, use gloves while relocating the statue.
  
  

• Lift with Both Hands: As the idol weighs around 12 kg, always lift using both hands to avoid accidental drops or damage to the piece or surrounding surfaces.
  
  

• Store Properly When Not in Use:  Wrap the idol in a soft cotton cloth and place it in a padded box in a dry, safe place to prevent dust accumulation and scratches.
  
  

By following these care instructions, your Brass Nandi Idol from Harishyam Arts will retain its divine presence and artistic beauty for many years.
