Siddhartha Gautama, popularly known as Gautam Budh or Budha itself, was an ascetic, a religious leader, and a teacher of 6th century BC India. He is the founder of Buddhism. He was born in a wealthy household in present day Nepal but, moved by the sufferings of the world, he executed great renunciation. In this sculpture, Budha is seen meditating in a Pranayama pose with his left hand in Dhyaan Mudra, also known as yoga mudra and his right hand in Vitarka mudra, which signifies the discussion and transmission of Budha’s teachings. In his left hand, we can also see a beggar’s pot which implies that he was a monk.

This sculpture is intricately and carefully carved which delineates plenty of his characteristics. There are 3 lines on his neck symbolising vital disciplines – conduct, concentration, and wisdom. Furthermore, his right shoulder is bare because usually, monks merely had a single fabric to wrap around their body and if right handed, the monk would cover his left shoulder and keep the right bare, as in the case of Budha, where he is wearing a black fabric with a golden lining on his left shoulder. He is also seen sitting on a pedestal carved with lotus petals and his earlobes are also outreached to make a lotus petal, this flower’s significance is that it symbolises the one who overcame the pain prevailing in the material world and became enlightened. Budha’s hair is engraved in such a manner that they appear like snails and there is a cone like crest on his head. He is meditating on a meticulously carved Bodh gaya, on which Budha renounced his princely life to wander and practice asceticism. His eyes and the body language reveal how he is ruminating in a tranquil and composed manner.

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.
