This magnificent artwork depicts the Buddha in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, also known as the “earth-touching gesture”. This mudra represents the moment the Buddha attained enlightenment under the bodhi tree when he asked the earth goddess Sthavara to bear witness to his attainment of enlightenment. Bhumisparsha Mudra is formed with all five fingers extended to touch the ground. The left hand, held flat in the lap in the dhyana mudra of meditation, and the right hand, placed upon the right knee in the earth-pressing mudra, represent the union of method and wisdom, samsara and nirvana, as well as the realisations of the conventional and ultimate truths. It is said that ‘Lord Buddha', sitting in this posture, conquered Mara’s obstacles by meditating on Truth.
The gold accents lend a dash of elegance and shine, while the copper base offers a strong basis. The statue’s beauty is enhanced by the delicate inlay work of precious and semi-precious stones, which reflects the vivid hues of enlightenment. With its fine craftsmanship and ornamentation, the statue of Lord Buddha serves as a magnificent embodiment of enlightenment and compassion.
