The Moment of Enlightenment

Behold a meticulously crafted brass statue that embodies one of the most pivotal moments in the life of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha. This representation captures the very instance when, after years of asceticism and meditation, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. With serene countenance and precise detail, this sculpture encapsulates the essence of Buddhist philosophy and the triumph over earthly temptations. Its presence serves as a constant reminder of the possibility of awakening and the inherent potential for wisdom and compassion within each of us. The use of brass, a metal revered for its enduring qualities and subtle luster, adds a timeless elegance to the piece. Each contour is carefully shaped by skilled artisans, reflecting generations of Indian craftsmanship passed down through families. The statue's dimensions of 11.5 x 7.5 x 4.5 inches make it an ideal size for placement on a personal altar, meditation space, or any area where a sense of peace and contemplation is desired.

The Bhumisparsha Mudra: Calling the Earth to Witness

The defining feature of this statue is the depiction of the Bhumisparsha Mudra. This gesture, also known as the "earth-touching" mudra, is deeply significant in Buddhist iconography. It represents the moment when Siddhartha, assailed by the demon Mara and his armies who sought to disrupt his meditation and prevent him from attaining enlightenment, called upon the Earth to bear witness to his countless lifetimes of spiritual practice and merit. Mara, representing temptation, fear, and doubt, unleashed his forces upon Siddhartha. Mara's daughters tried to seduce him with their beauty, while his armies bombarded him with terrors and distractions. Yet, Siddhartha remained steadfast in his resolve. In this climactic moment, he reached down with his right hand, touching the earth. This simple act invoked the Earth Goddess, who rose up and confirmed Siddhartha's right to Buddhahood, vanquishing Mara and his illusions. The Bhumisparsha Mudra, therefore, is a powerful symbol of unwavering determination, steadfastness in the face of adversity, and the ultimate triumph of truth over falsehood. The Buddha’s left hand rests in his lap in the Dhyana Mudra, the gesture of meditation. Together, these mudras tell the story of the Buddha's enlightenment in a single artistic expression.

Handmade with Devotion: A Piece of India's Spiritual Heritage

This statue is not merely an object; it's a testament to the rich artistic and spiritual traditions of India. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, resulting in subtle variations that make it unique. It is a product of skillful artisans, carrying forward the legacy of generations of traditional craftsmanship. The intricate details of the robe, the serene expression on the Buddha's face, and the lotus pedestal (Padmasana) upon which he sits are all painstakingly rendered, making this statue a true work of art. Owning this piece is not just about acquiring a decorative item, it's about possessing a piece of India's cultural and spiritual heritage, resonating with the ancient wisdom and peaceful teachings of the Buddha. Its creation and origins in India imbue this statue with a certain sacred energy, reflecting the nation's deep-rooted spiritual traditions.

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.
