A Beacon of Enlightenment: The Earth-Touching Buddha

This magnificent brass statue depicts the revered Buddha in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, the earth-touching gesture. This pose is rich with profound symbolism, representing the moment of Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Legend has it that during his deep meditation, Mara, the demon king of illusion and temptation, sought to disrupt his path to Nirvana. Mara challenged Siddhartha, claiming the earth as his witness and the seat of his power. In response, Siddhartha extended his right hand, fingertips just touching the ground, thus calling the Earth itself as the infallible witness to his attainment of enlightenment and his right to occupy the sacred seat. This powerful gesture signifies his unwavering determination, his connection to the terrestrial realm, and his ultimate victory over worldly distractions.

Artistry and Devotion in Brass

Crafted with meticulous care by skilled artisans in India, this substantial statue is a testament to centuries of artistic tradition and deep spiritual devotion. The lustrous brass forms the core of the sculpture, providing a sense of enduring strength and divine presence. The robes of the Buddha are adorned with intricate inlay work, a vibrant mosaic of turquoise and red hues, interspersed with flashes of royal blue. These colors are not merely decorative; they often carry symbolic meanings in Buddhist art. Turquoise is associated with healing, wisdom, and protection, while red can represent passion, life force,, and compassion. The rich detailing on the robes, from the cascading folds to the ornate borders, speaks volumes about the dedication of the craftsman who brought this sacred image to life.

Embodying Serenity and Wisdom

The serene countenance of the Buddha, with his eyes gently closed in deep contemplation, emanates an aura of profound peace and wisdom. His urna, the dot between his eyebrows, symbolizes his third eye, representing intuitive knowledge and insight. The ushnisha, the cranial protuberance, signifies his spiritual enlightenment and the vastness of his knowledge. The lotus throne upon which he sits is a universal symbol of purity, spiritual awakening, and transcendence, as the lotus rises unstained from muddy waters. This statue is more than just a decorative piece; it is a conduit for contemplation, a reminder of the path to inner peace and enlightenment, and a beautiful embodiment of Buddhist philosophy. Its impressive size makes it a commanding presence in any space, inviting quiet reflection and fostering a sense of spiritual harmony.

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.
