The Earth-Touching Gesture of Enlightenment

This exquisite brass statue captures Lord Buddha in the profound Bhumisparsha Mudra, the "Earth-Touching" gesture. With a serene countenance and eyes half-closed in deep meditation, the Buddha reaches his right hand towards the earth, his fingers lightly touching the ground. This posture symbolizes his attainment of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, a moment when he called upon the earth itself to bear witness to his victory over Mara, the embodiment of temptation and illusion. The earth, in Buddhist tradition, is considered the ultimate witness to truth and purity, and by touching it, the Buddha signifies his unshakable resolve and the purity of his awakened mind.

A Masterpiece of Artisanal Craftsmanship

Handmade in India by skilled artisans, this statue is a testament to generations of craftsmanship. Cast in durable brass, it possesses a timeless beauty that will grace any space for years to come. The robes of the Buddha are not merely cloth but a canvas of narrative artistry. Intricately decorated with scenes from the life of Buddha, these panels offer glimpses into his journey towards enlightenment – from his birth as a prince to his renunciation, his austerities, and his ultimate awakening. The rich detailing on the robes, enhanced by contrasting patinas, adds depth and visual interest, inviting contemplation of the sacred stories depicted.

Symbolism and Serenity

The Bhumisparsha Mudra is one of the most significant and powerful gestures in Buddhist iconography. It represents not only the Buddha's personal enlightenment but also his compassion for all sentient beings and his commitment to guiding them towards liberation from suffering. The act of touching the earth is an affirmation of his groundedness, his humility, and his deep connection to the world. Holding a small alms bowl in his left hand, the Buddha signifies his monastic life and his reliance on the generosity of others, a constant reminder of simplicity and detachment. This statue is more than just a decorative object; it is a potent symbol of wisdom, peace, and the transformative power of mindfulness. Its presence can inspire tranquility and serve as a daily reminder of the path to 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.
