To ensure the enduring beauty and spiritual significance of your 9" Brass Ashta Mukha Lingam from Harishyam Arts, proper care and maintenance are essential. This detailed guide will help you keep your Lingam in pristine condition:

Regular Dusting: Dust your Ashta Mukha Lingam regularly using a soft, dry cloth. A microfiber cloth or a gentle duster is recommended to avoid scratching the surface. Regular dusting helps prevent the buildup of dust and maintains the statue’s polished appearance, ensuring the intricate details remain visible.

•  Gentle Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, use a mild brass cleaner specifically designed for delicate items. Alternatively, a mixture of lemon juice and baking soda can be used. Apply the cleaner with a soft cloth, gently rubbing in circular motions to avoid scratches. After cleaning, rinse the Lingam with lukewarm water to remove any residue. Thoroughly dry it with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain its shine.

•  Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on your Lingam. Such substances can damage the brass and dull its finish. Stick to gentle, brass-specific cleaning products to preserve the delicate detailing and golden luster of your Lingam. Harsh chemicals can erode the brass over time, affecting both its appearance and spiritual significance.

•  Protect from Moisture: Keep the Lingam in a dry environment to prevent tarnishing and corrosion. Excess moisture and humidity can lead to tarnish and affect the brass's appearance. If the Lingam is displayed outdoors, ensure it is in a sheltered location to protect it from rain and extreme weather conditions.

•  Inspect Regularly: Periodically inspect the Lingam for signs of wear or damage. Ensure it is securely placed or mounted to prevent accidental falls or bumps. Address any issues promptly to avoid further damage and to maintain the Lingam’s aesthetic and spiritual value.

•  Proper Storage: When not in use, store the Lingam in a dust-free, dry location. A soft cloth bag or covered box is ideal for protecting it from dust and environmental factors. Proper storage helps maintain its appearance and extends its longevity, ensuring that it continues to be a revered and beautiful symbol of divine energy.

By following these care and maintenance guidelines, you can preserve the spiritual and aesthetic qualities of your 9" Brass Ashta Mukha Lingam, allowing it to remain a cherished and elegant part of your devotional space.
