Decorating your home is an art. A well-kept home is a peep into one’s personality and lifestyle. So, it calls for taking some effort and spending some time to pick the best you can to create a dream home. Checking home decor items online will always fetch you something beautiful. Always think before buying home decor products and consider whether it deserves to be displayed or not. However, there is no list of rules to select a perfect decorative piece, it exclusively depends on one's own choice.
Among these, antiques play a predominant role. They may be made of rare materials such as gold or silver, but they may also be made of ordinary materials such as wood or paper. Most antiques are things that were originally used as household furnishings. These include furniture, silver, glass, ceramics, rugs, embroideries, and various kinds of metalware.
The major antique found in many south Indian homes is - the idol of Kamadhenu made of brass.
Kamadhenu is regarded as a form of Devi and is closely related to the fertile Mother Earth, who is often described as a cow in Sanskrit. The fantastic being Kamadhenu is depicted as a white cow with a female head and breasts, bird's wings and the tail of a peafowl. Alternatively, Kamadhenu is also depicted as a white cow with all the Hindu deities inscribed and enshrined in the various parts of her body.
Kamadhenu is a divine cow originally residing in heaven. It appeared from the ocean during the 'churning of the seas'. According to Hindu scriptures, Kamadhenu can fulfil all your wishes. Therefore, Vastu Shastra envisages keeping a Kamadhenu idol at home to bring wealth and happiness.
Worshipping Kamadhenu with its calf, 'Nandhini', is auspicious. The person receives the blessings of the three prime goddesses, Lakshmi , Saraswathi , and Durga . Kamadhenu is considered an all-purpose remedy if there is no peace or harmony in the house.
These days almost in all mediums the kamadhenu is available as a pair of cow and calf. It will add a graceful sign to your house , try to buy and place it in an appropriate place.
