Gautam Buddha, the epitome of Buddhism, is said to have attained Nirvana through devotional meditation. Buddhism began with the Buddha’s search for the truth. The Earth was the witness to one such truth, the enlightenment of Buddha.
The legend says when Gautam Buddha was meditating, demon Mara with his armies and daughters came in with the intention to be a barrier during his meditation. Buddha then called upon the Earth by touching the earth to witness the awakening.
In this elegant brass sculpture, Buddha is seen wearing a gorgeous golden robe holding the Bhumisparsha mudra, meaning ‘touching the Earth’. In this pose, Buddha is observed with his right hand and the fingertips directing towards the ground, to “touch the earth”, and the palm turned inward, while the left hand is in the dhyana (meditation) mudra. This Buddha statue acts as a blessing in disguise and serves as a reminder to be focused and be grounded while moving towards the ultimate goal.

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.

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.
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.
