The Earth Touching Bodhisattva: A Symbol of Enlightenment and Steadfastness

This exquisite brass statue embodies the profound serenity and unwavering resolve of Lord Buddha in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, the earth-touching gesture. This iconic pose is steeped in rich Buddhist lore, signifying the moment of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Legend tells of Mara, the demon king, who attempted to disrupt Siddhartha's meditation, claiming the seat of enlightenment as his own. Siddhartha, with complete equanimity, extended his right hand to touch the earth, calling upon Mother Earth to bear witness to his worthiness and the eons of merit accumulated through his past lives. The earth, responding to his touch, shook violently, banishing Mara and solidifying Siddhartha's path to Buddhahood.

Artistry and Devotion

Crafted in India by skilled artisans, this 11-inch statue is a testament to the enduring traditions of Tibetan Buddhist art. The use of brass, a material revered for its durability and lustrous finish, lends a timeless quality to the sculpture. The contrasting tones of polished brass and a rich, deep brown patina create a striking visual harmony, highlighting the intricate details of Buddha's robes and adornments. The serene expression on his face, with eyes gently closed in deep meditation, invites contemplation and a sense of peace to any space. The delicate rendering of his urna, the spiral of hair on his forehead, and the ushnisha, the cranial protuberance symbolizing his profound wisdom, are all executed with meticulous care.

Cultural Significance and Symbolism

The Bhumisparsha Mudra is more than just a physical gesture; it is a powerful symbol of overcoming obstacles and achieving ultimate truth. It represents grounding, stability, and the unwavering commitment to the path of liberation. For practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism, this gesture serves as a constant reminder of Buddha's victory over delusion and his compassionate aspiration to guide all beings to enlightenment. This statue, therefore, is not merely an object of beauty but a sacred artifact that carries deep spiritual resonance. Its presence can foster an atmosphere of tranquility, inspire mindfulness, and serve as a focal point for meditation and prayer, connecting the viewer to the timeless wisdom of the Buddha. The rich detailing on the chest, shoulders, and legs, with its ornate patterns, further enhances the divine aura of the sculpture, evoking the regality and majesty of a fully enlightened being.

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.
