Ayyappan Statue With Arch - 5.5 X 4 Inches | Ayyappa Idol/ Antique Brass Idol For Pooja
"Divine Grace at Your Doorstep: Ayyappan Statue with Arch."
♦ Also known as Swamy Ayyappa idol, Ayyappa brass idol with arch, Brass Ayyappa murti, Ayyappan silai, Ayyappan statue, and Ayyappa idol.
The Ayyappan statue, which is a distinctive representation of the union of Shaivism and Vaishnavism, depicts Lord Ayyappa, the celibate god born from the union of Lord Shiva and Mohini (an incarnation of Vishnu). The worship of Lord Ayyappa began to grow in popularity during the ninth century CE, mostly in South India, notably in Kerala, where millions of worshippers visit the renowned Sabarimala temple every year. Based on ancient iconographic principles outlined in the Agama Shastras and sculptural traditions described in works like the Silpa Shastra, brass images of Ayyappa are typically made by hand.
♦ During the Mandala Pooja and Makaravilakku festivals in particular, the Ayyappa idol is highly revered in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. It serves as a spiritual focal point for families, temples, and pilgrimage camps. The demand for Ayyappan sculptures peaks, especially from November through January.
♦ This Ayyappan idol with an arch is perfect for temple installations, daily puja rituals, and Sankalpa poojas. During religious events, it can be used for giving, spiritual rituals, and house altars. The sanctity of the installation is increased by the arch behind the statue, which represents divine brilliance (Prabhavali).
♦ Keep this brass Ayyappan silai in a dry and clean location to extend its lifespan. Regular light cleaning with lemon and salt solution or natural brass polish, followed by wiping with a soft cloth, will keep its shine. Do not soak in water for too long or use strong chemicals.
♦ This brass idol is particularly important during the Mandala Kalam (41-day vratham observed before visiting Sabarimala), Makara Sankranti, and Panguni Uthiram. The worship of Lord Ayyappa by followers is for inner fortitude, discipline, celibacy, and protection. The potent presence of the Hariharasuta (son of Vishnu and Shiva) is summoned into your house by this idol.
♦ The tale of Lord Ayyappa's life demonstrates heavenly intention, morality (Dharma), and the ultimate road to self-control and enlightenment. By aligning their energies toward inner purification, idol worship helps worshipers with their Vratha (austere practices).
