Durga

This form aligns with the Root chakra. Regular darshan (viewing) with intention cultivates the qualities associated with this energy centre: stability, groundedness, and security.

This murti resonates with the Fire element. In Vedic cosmology, Fire forms bring transformation, will, and the dissolution of stagnation — suited to spaces of action, creativity, and change.

Pure brass requires gentle care to maintain its living quality.

• • Wipe with a soft dry cloth weekly
• • For deeper cleaning, use a paste of tamarind pulp or lemon juice with salt — rinse thoroughly and dry immediately
• • Never use abrasive cleaners or steel wool
• • Apply a thin coat of coconut oil monthly to preserve patina
• • Keep away from prolonged direct water exposure
• • The natural darkening of brass over time is called Tamra-patina — it is considered auspicious, not a flaw
