The Illumination

The life of Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha, is one of the most influential narratives in human history. Born a prince, shielded from the suffering of the world, his encounter with illness, old age, and death sparked a profound spiritual quest. This journey culminated in his enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree, a moment that transformed him into the Buddha, the "Awakened One." It is this pivotal moment, the essence of Buddhist philosophy, that is captured in this finely crafted statue. The statue presents the Buddha in a meditative posture, a serene expression gracing his face. His eyes are gently closed, turned inward in contemplation. The delicate features, from the slight curve of his lips to the subtle brow, reflect the inner peace he attained. His hands rest in his lap in the Dhyana Mudra, a gesture symbolizing meditation and concentration.

The Bodhi Tree and Its Significance

Above the Buddha, the branches of the Bodhi Tree spread protectively. It was beneath the shade of a Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya, India that Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment. It is said that he sat there for seven days and seven nights in deep meditation, confronting his inner demons and ultimately achieving Nirvana. This specific tree has become a symbol of wisdom, awakening, and the potential for all beings to achieve enlightenment. The tree here is beautifully adorned with intricately inlaid, colorful flowers. Upon the branches also rest peaceful birds.

Crafted with Care

Every detail of this statue speaks to the skill of the artisans who created it. The statue is cast in brass, a metal prized for its durability and warm, golden tones. The brass is finished with a polished surface, allowing the light to play across the contours of the Buddha’s form and the intricate details of the Bodhi Tree. The inlay work is particularly impressive, showcasing the patient and skillful application of vibrant colors to bring the piece to life. This technique not only enhances the visual appeal but also imbues the statue with a sense of richness and depth. The artistry behind it is a testament to India's rich tradition of craftsmanship. The combination of materials and the careful execution make this not just an object of beauty but a powerful reminder of the Buddha's teachings and the path to enlightenment.

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.
