“Dhammachakra pravartana”- the turning of the Wheel of Dhamma or Dharma, is an eternally auspicious and powerful moment in the story of Buddhism when the Buddha bestowed his enlightened wisdom on his followers, this brass statue from Nepal depicts the moment in metal, with Buddha enthroned on a remarkably sculpted Padmasana or lotus throne, which symbolizes the growth of wisdom within. Buddha is wrapped in the Cheevara or monk’s garment, with a Stupa-like protuberance on his head (Ushnisha) and a serene expression. His hands are placed in front of his heart, in the “Dhammachakra pravartana mudra”.
