This is a colored brass statue of Buddha in Bhumisparsha mudra inlaid with precious and semi-precious stones. In Sanskrit, Bhumisparsha means touching the earth. The Buddha’s enlightenment invited the earth goddess, Sthavara, to bear witness to his attainment of enlightenment, which is symbolized by this mudra. It is formed with all five fingers of the right hand extended to touch the ground and the left hand can be seen with the palm upright in his lap.

It is believed that the demon Mara tried to frighten him with the armies of demons including his daughters who tried to tempt him to get out of meditation just before he realized enlightenment. It is also believed that in this pose Shakyamuni overcame the obstructions of Mara while meditating on Truth.

Placing this brass statue of Buddha in the east direction at home stimulates positive energy and will help in reducing stress and anxiety.

The Timeless Elegance of Bhumisparsha Mudra

This exquisite 8-inch seated Buddha statue embodies the profound Bhumisparsha Mudra, a gesture of profound significance in Buddhist iconography. Crafted from high-quality brass and adorned with meticulous inlay work featuring vibrant red, green, and blue gemstones, this piece is a testament to both artistry and spiritual devotion.

The Story Behind the Mudra

The Bhumisparsha Mudra, also known as the "earth-touching" mudra, depicts Buddha touching the earth with his right hand. This powerful gesture is deeply rooted in Buddhist mythology, specifically recalling the moment of Buddha's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Legend recounts that Mara, the demon of illusion and temptation, attempted to dissuade Buddha from achieving enlightenment. In response, Buddha called upon the earth goddess, Prithvi, to witness his purity and unwavering resolve. As he touched the earth, the earth goddess rose from the ground to testify to his enlightenment, vanquishing Mara and his forces. Thus, the Bhumisparsha Mudra symbolizes Buddha's unwavering commitment to his spiritual path and the unshakeable truth of his enlightenment. This mudra is a powerful symbol of grounding, stability, and connection to the earth.

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.
