The Ground-Touching Enlightenment

This exquisite brass statue captures the profound moment of Shakyamuni Buddha's enlightenment, a pivotal event in Buddhist history. The figure is depicted in the iconic Bhumisparsha Mudra, a gesture of touching the earth with the right hand. This mudra symbolizes the Buddha's victory over Mara, the demon who tried to tempt him and prevent his attainment of Nirvana. Legend has it that as Mara's forces assailed him, Siddhartha, seated beneath the Bodhi tree, remained unwavering. He called upon the Earth Goddess, Bhumi, as his witness, and his right hand, touching the ground, invoked her to attest to the purity of his resolve and his right to achieve enlightenment. The earth trembled, confirming his victory.

Masterful Craftsmanship and Rich Symbolism

Hand-cast in brass and meticulously finished by artisans in India, this statue is a testament to traditional craftsmanship. The serene countenance of the Buddha, with eyes gently closed in meditation, exudes an aura of deep peace and wisdom. The urna, the subtle swirl of hair on the forehead, signifies spiritual insight. His ushnisha, the cranial protuberance, represents his heightened consciousness. The robes are intricately detailed, adorned with ornate patterns that speak of regal grace, contrasting beautifully with the deep green patina, possibly symbolizing the verdant foliage of the Bodhi tree under which he attained enlightenment. The left hand rests in his lap, palms upward, often signifying the collection of merit or the alms bowl, a symbol of renunciation.

A Touchstone of Inner Peace

The Bhumisparsha Mudra itself is a powerful symbol of grounding, stability, and the unwavering nature of truth. It reminds practitioners that even in the face of the fiercest challenges, inner strength and the support of the natural order can lead to ultimate liberation. This statue is more than just a decorative object; it is a tangible representation of a spiritual journey, a reminder of the potential for enlightenment that lies within all beings. It serves as a focal point for meditation, encouraging introspection and the cultivation of compassion, mindfulness, and wisdom. The brass medium lends the statue a timeless quality, its rich patina developing character and depth over the years, mirroring the journey of spiritual growth.

An Embodiment of Sacred Heritage

Originating from India, the birthplace of Buddhism, this statue carries the weight of centuries of spiritual tradition. It is a piece that connects the owner to a rich cultural heritage, echoing the devotion and artistry that have flourished for millennia. Whether placed in a meditation space, a living room, or an altar, this solemn Shakyamuni Buddha in the Bhumisparsha Mudra offers a serene presence and a profound invitation to reflect on the path to awakening. Its presence is a constant reminder of the Buddha's teachings and the enduring pursuit of peace and understanding in the world.

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.
