'None else but fear is thy enemy, thy death, disease and distress. Overcome fear and then there is no death, no disease, no distress for thee. Not death but fear is thy problem and redemption from fear is thy redemption from death', says Buddha, the universal teacher and the benevolent Lord of compassion. 'Abhaya', the freedom from fear, is, thus, the essence of Buddha's philosophy. 'Abhaya' is an essential element of votive iconography of all sects in India and beyond, but in most of them it is granted against outside enemies, the evil and destructive forces. In Buddhist thought, the enemy is within. It is fear. Buddha leads the mind beyond fear and is thus the lord of 'Abhaya' or fearlessness. Thus, 'Abhaya', the posture imparting fearlessness, has a different and unique significance in Buddha's iconography.

This statue of Lord Buddha represents him with his right hand in the 'Abhaya-mudra'. Auspicious marks can be seen on the palm of this hand. The Lord of fearlessness is seated on a fully bloomed large, decorated lotus in 'padmasana' posture. His left hand, holding a begging-bowl, is in the Dhyana-mudra, or the gesture of meditation. In Buddhist thought , 'Abhaya' and meditation are co-related. Meditation is the search within where inhabits the prime enemy fear. The 'Abhaya', for oneself as well as for the universe, becomes manifest only after one has entered deep within him, discovered the enemy and has defeated it. Other Indian deities, while imparting 'Abhaya' by one hand, carry in other different weapons. Buddha's images are armed with meditation as it is in meditation that he had discovered his subtlest weapon securing 'Abhaya'.

The highlight of this sculpture, created in the central Indian city of Aligarh, is the highly scrolled decorative work on the Buddha’s garment.

How to keep a Brass statue well-maintained?

Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material. Due to these properties, Brass statues and sculptures can be kept both indoors as well as outdoors. They also last for many decades without losing all their natural shine.

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.

The best and simplest way to maintain a brass statue is to clean it at least twice a week using a soft cloth or cotton rag. This will prevent dust from accumulating on the surface. Dusting is especially important for outdoor statues since it is prone to dust accumulation much more than indoors.

To give a natural shine and luster to the statue, you may apply coconut or olive oil using cotton on every portion. You can use a toothbrush to get to the small crevices but do not be too harsh. This will make the brass statue appear fresh and new with a polished look.

In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.

Brass idols of Hindu Gods and Goddesses are especially known for their intricate and detailed work of art. Nepalese sculptures are famous for small brass idols portraying Buddhist deities. These sculptures are beautified with gold gilding and inlay of precious or semi-precious stones. Religious brass statues can be kept at home altars. You can keep a decorative brass statue in your garden or roof to embellish the area and fill it with divinity.
