The Serene Protector

This exquisite statue captures a pivotal moment in Buddhist mythology, depicting Lord Buddha in deep meditation, protected by the magnificent hood of Sheshnag, the king of serpents. Crafted from fine Orissa stone, this handmade Indian art piece embodies centuries of tradition and spiritual devotion. The serene countenance of the Buddha, with his eyes softly closed, radiates an aura of profound peace and enlightenment. His hands are held in the Abhaya Mudra, a gesture of fearlessness and reassurance, signifying his protection over all beings.

Mythological Significance and Artistic Craftsmanship

The legend of Buddha sheltered by Sheshnag originates from tales where the Naga king, Mucalinda, emerges from his sub-terrestrial abode to shield the meditating Buddha from a torrential storm. This act of protection by the serpent god is seen as a testament to the overwhelming power of Buddha's spiritual might, which could pacify even the fiercest of natural forces and the most formidable of creatures. The artist has masterfully rendered the multiple heads of Sheshnag, fanning out above the Buddha like a protective canopy. Each scale and curve of the serpent's hood is meticulously carved, showcasing the depth and detail of traditional Indian stone carving.

A Testament to Orissa Stone Art

The choice of Orissa stone, known for its distinctive reddish hue and fine grain, lends a unique warmth and texture to this sculpture. The artisans of Odisha have a long-standing heritage in stone carving, passed down through generations. Their skilled hands transform raw stone into sacred artifacts that resonate with spiritual energy and aesthetic beauty. The smooth finish and the subtle play of light and shadow across the carved surfaces highlight the artist's profound understanding of the medium and their ability to imbue stone with life and emotion. This statue is not merely an object of decoration but a conduit for contemplation and a reminder of the enduring power of compassion and wisdom.

A Sacred Presence for Your Space

This 10-inch statue is a perfect addition to any altar, meditation space, or home where a sense of peace and spiritual grounding is desired. Its detailed craftsmanship and rich symbolism make it a truly captivating piece, inviting quiet reflection and inspiring a deeper connection to Buddhist philosophy. The natural beauty of the Orissa stone ensures that each statue possesses a unique character, making it a one-of-a-kind work of art. Bring the benevolent presence of the protected Buddha into your life and let this sacred sculpture serve as a daily reminder of inner strength and tranquility.
