The Earth as Witness

This meticulously crafted brass statue depicts Lord Buddha in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, a powerful gesture representing the moment of enlightenment. The right hand extends downward, fingers touching the earth, symbolizing his call to the Earth Goddess, Sthavara, to witness his triumph over temptation and the forces of illusion represented by Mara. This moment of unwavering resolve under the Bodhi tree is a cornerstone of Buddhist belief, marking Siddhartha Gautama's transformation into the Buddha, the Awakened One. The left hand rests in his lap in the Dhyana Mudra, the gesture of meditation, signifying perfect balance and inner peace. The serene expression on his face embodies the stillness achieved through profound insight and the cessation of suffering.

Craftsmanship and Detail

The statue is a testament to the skill of the artisans who have brought it to life. The smooth, golden brass form of Buddha's body contrasts beautifully with the intricate inlay work adorning his robe and lotus base. The use of colored inlays adds depth and richness to the sculpture, enhancing its visual appeal. Each element, from the carefully defined features of Buddha's face to the delicate folds of his robe, showcases a commitment to artistic excellence and a deep understanding of Buddhist iconography.

The Significance of Bhumisparsha Mudra

The Bhumisparsha Mudra is more than just a hand gesture; it's a profound statement of truth. In the Buddhist narrative, Mara, the embodiment of desire, fear, and doubt, challenged Siddhartha's right to attain enlightenment. Siddhartha, having no other witness to his accumulated merit and spiritual dedication, reached out to touch the earth. In response, the Earth Goddess rose up to testify to his countless lifetimes of virtue, validating his claim and scattering Mara's forces. Thus, Bhumisparsha Mudra represents unwavering conviction, the power of truth, and the ultimate victory over worldly temptations. Displaying this statue serves as a reminder of the potential for enlightenment within each of us and the importance of standing firm in the face of adversity. The lotus base upon which Buddha sits signifies purity, spiritual awakening, and faithfulness. The lotus is said to grow in muddy water, so its bloom above the surface is an analogy for overcoming worldly obstacles to achieve spiritual 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.
