Touching the Earth: A Moment of Enlightenment

This meticulously crafted brass statue embodies one of the most significant moments in the life of Siddhartha Gautama, the man who would become the Buddha. The "Bhumisparsha" mudra, literally "earth-touching," represents the precise instant when the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya. It is a gesture of unwavering resolve, a calling upon the Earth itself to bear witness to his victory over temptation and illusion. The legend tells that as Siddhartha meditated, Mara, the demon of illusion, unleashed a host of terrors – armies, seductive dancers, and storms – to dissuade him from his quest. Mara claimed that Siddhartha did not deserve enlightenment, asserting that he had not earned the right. In response, Siddhartha extended his right hand to touch the earth. This simple yet profound gesture invoked the Earth Goddess, who arose to testify to Siddhartha’s countless lifetimes of virtuous deeds. Mara and his forces vanished, and at dawn, Siddhartha awakened as the Buddha, the Enlightened One. The statue captures the serene and resolute expression of the Buddha. His eyes are downcast in meditative concentration. The gentle curves of his face radiate compassion and inner peace. The hand in the Bhumisparsha mudra is positioned with fingers extended downward, subtly but powerfully grounding him to the earth and anchoring him to the present moment.

Crafted with Devotion: A Legacy of Artisanship

Every detail of this brass statue speaks to the rich artistic traditions of India. From the intricate patterns adorning the robe to the detailed representation of the lotus pedestal upon which the Buddha sits, the craftsmanship reflects a deep understanding of Buddhist iconography and a dedication to preserving ancient techniques. Brass, a metal revered for its durability and luster, has long been a favored medium for creating sacred images in India. This piece, handcrafted by skilled artisans, carries the weight of that history, a testament to generations of knowledge passed down through families and communities. The statue is more than just a decorative object; it is a tangible link to a spiritual heritage, a reminder of the transformative power of meditation, and an invitation to connect with the wisdom of the Buddha. Adding this handcrafted statue to your home or meditation space is a gesture towards incorporating the values of tranquility, mindfulness, and the triumph of truth over illusion.

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.
