The Symbolism of Enlightenment and Earthly Connection

This exquisite brass statue captures the iconic Bhumisparsha Mudra, a gesture deeply rooted in Buddhist tradition and the narrative of the Buddha's enlightenment. The term "Bhumisparsha" translates to "touching the earth," and this posture signifies the moment Siddhartha Gautama, the Bodhisattva, achieved enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Legend has it that Mara, the demon king of temptation, tried to disrupt his meditation, questioning his right to the sacred seat. In response, the Buddha, without uttering a word, extended his right hand and touched the earth, calling upon the Earth Goddess, Bhumi, as his witness. This powerful act symbolized his deep connection to the earthly realm and his unwavering determination to overcome all obstacles on the path to enlightenment.

A Masterpiece of Intricate Craftsmanship

Crafted from high-quality brass, this statue embodies both the divine and the terrestrial. The lustrous golden hue of the brass serves as a representation of the Buddha's radiant spiritual essence, while the meticulously inlaid details speak to the earthly beauty and richness of the world he sought to transcend. The robe is a spectacle of artistry, adorned with vibrant turquoise and red inlays, accentuated by delicate filigree work that resembles intricate lacework. This detailed ornamentation not only adds visual appeal but also suggests the richness and complexity of the material world, which the Buddha, through his wisdom, saw through to attain liberation. The urna, a dot between the eyebrows symbolizing spiritual insight, and the ushnisha, a cranial protuberance representing wisdom, are subtly rendered, focusing the viewer's attention on the serene and compassionate expression of the Buddha's face. The deep blue inlay on the crown adds a regal touch, hinting at the spiritual royalty he attained.

A Focal Point for Meditation and Reflection

The Bhumisparsha Mudra, with the left hand resting in the lap and the right hand extended to touch the ground, is a powerful symbol of grounding and steadfastness. It encourages the observer to connect with their own inner strength and resilience in the face of challenges. The bowl held gently in the Buddha's hands, a common attribute, often symbolizes the alms bowl used by monks, representing detachment from material possessions and the practice of mindful giving. This statue, with its profound symbolism and breathtaking artistry, serves as an ideal centerpiece for any meditation space, altar, or sacred corner. It invites contemplation on the nature of suffering, the path to awakening, and the universal principles of compassion, wisdom, and mindfulness. Its presence can inspire a sense of peace and serenity, reminding one of the potential for enlightenment that lies within us all, just as it did for the Buddha on that fateful day.

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.
