Balaji Brass Statues

Venkateswara is known as Śrīnivāsa, Bālājī, Vēṅkaṭa, Venkata Ramana, Vēṅkaṭāchalapati, Tirupati Timmapp, and Govindha, is a form of the Hindu god Vishnu. Venkateswara's most prominent temple is the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple located in Tirupathi, Andhra Pradesh in Southern India.

It is said that lord Vishnu incarnated in this form of balaji to guide his devotees in this kali age. Apart from this there is a story in puranic scripts quoting to this incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The puranic story is that there was a doubt between the sages on who is the supreme god within the trimurthi’s and sage brigu went on to find out the same and that led to the incarnation of Lord balaji.

Venkateswara literally means "Lord of Venkata". The word is a combination of the words Venkata (the name of a hill in Andhra Pradesh) and isvara ("Lord"). According to the Brahmanda and Bhavishyottara Puranas, the word "Venkata" means "destroyer of sins", deriving from the Sanskrit words vem (sins) and kata (power of immunity).

Lord Balaji is depicted in a standing posture adorned with various jewels and weapons blessing his devotees. Venkatachalapathi is often depicted in arts along with his consort padmavathi or Lakshmi on a lotus near his feet. In some paintings and art forms he is depicted along with both the consorts Padmavathi and Alamelu.
Brass is an alloy combination of Copper and Zinc. It is a substitutional composite of both brass and brass incorporate little extents with different components of non-metal and metalloids.

Solid brass valuable properties and relative ease of production have made it one of the most widely used alloys. Artists value the metal’s aesthetic properties, as it can be produced in the range of colors from deep red to golden yellow. Its ability to retain strength when formed in desired shapes and forms makes it a preferred choice in casting.
