The Earth-Witnessing Pose: A Symbol of Enlightenment

This exquisite brass statue depicts Lord Buddha in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, the Earth-touching gesture. This pose is one of the most potent and revered in Buddhist iconography, symbolizing the moment of Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. It is said that as Siddhartha Gautama meditated, the demon Mara, representing temptation and illusion, attempted to disturb his profound concentration. Siddhartha, with unwavering resolve, extended his right hand to touch the earth, calling upon the earth goddess, Bhumi, to bear witness to his steadfastness and his path to liberation. This act not only solidified his enlightenment but also demonstrated his victory over worldly distractions and his deep connection to the fundamental truths of existence.

Artistry and Symbolism in Brass

Crafted from high-quality brass, this statue embodies the traditional artistry associated with Buddhist sculpture. The metal itself, known for its durability and lustrous sheen, is meticulously shaped to capture the serene countenance and graceful posture of the awakened one. The robes are adorned with striking inlaid work, featuring vibrant turquoise and deep red stones, which are not merely decorative but hold symbolic significance. Turquoise, often associated with the heavens and spiritual wisdom, enhances the divine aura of the figure, while the red stones can represent passion, life force, or the suppression of negative energies. The intricate detailing on the armbands and the base further elevates this piece, showcasing the skill of the artisan and imbuing the statue with a sense of sacredness.

A Confluence of Tradition and Devotion

The Bhumisparsha Mudra is central to various Buddhist traditions, particularly within Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism. It represents the unshakeable foundation of truth and the power of mindfulness to overcome adversity. This pose is often invoked during meditation and prayer, serving as a reminder of the Buddha's journey and the potential for all beings to achieve enlightenment. Placing this statue in your home or meditation space can serve as a constant inspiration, fostering an atmosphere of peace, wisdom, and spiritual fortitude. It is a tangible connection to ancient wisdom and a beautiful expression of devotional practice. The presence of this finely crafted brass figure, imbued with the powerful symbolism of the Earth-touching gesture, invites contemplation and the cultivation of inner peace.

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.
