The Serene Slumber of the Awakened One

This exquisite stone sculpture captures Lord Buddha in his tranquil reclining posture, a timeless symbol of peace, enlightenment, and the final nirvana. Carved from the rich, earthy Orissa stone, this masterpiece embodies centuries of artistic tradition and spiritual devotion. The delicate lines of the Buddha's robes flow gracefully over his form, hinting at the weightlessness of his enlightened state. His gentle smile, a hallmark of Buddhist iconography, radiates a profound sense of calm and compassion, inviting contemplation and inner peace for all who behold him. ––––––––––

A Pose of Profound Significance

The reclining Buddha, also known as the "Parinirvana pose," signifies the Buddha's final moments before passing into Mahaparinirvana. It represents the ultimate transcendence of suffering and the attainment of complete liberation. This pose is not one of sorrow, but rather of profound peace and serenity, symbolizing the end of the cycle of birth and death. In Buddhist mythology, it is believed that when the Buddha entered Parinirvana, the earth trembled, and the gods mourned with hymns of praise. This statue, therefore, is more than just an artwork; it is a tangible link to these sacred narratives and the profound teachings of Buddhism. ––––––––––

The Artistry of Orissa Stone

Originating from the ancient land of Odisha, known for its rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess, this statue is a testament to the skill of generations of artisans. The Orissa stone itself, often grey or dark in hue, lends a natural gravitas and timeless quality to the sculpture. Hand-carved with meticulous detail, each curve, fold, and feature is brought to life by the skilled hands of the craftsman. The artist's dedication is evident in the subtle nuances of expression and the precise rendering of form, creating a piece that is both aesthetically captivating and spiritually resonant. The subtle patina of age and the inherent character of the stone speak of its authenticity and the journey it has undertaken to reach you. This piece is a celebration of Indian craftsmanship and a conduit to the spiritual heart of the subcontinent.
