The Vitarka Mudra depicts The Buddha teaching in Padmasana Posture. The right hand with a lotus is held upward closer to the chest, the palm facing outward. The index finger touching the thumb creates a circle symbolizing the constant flow of energy and information with no beginning or end. The other three fingers point upward. Vitarka mudra induces the energy of the teachings and discussions of the spiritual principles which may also involve the arguments with the disciples. The left-hand holds a divine Patra (begging bowl) on his lap signifying him to be the head of the monastic order.

The stunning robe draped on his princely figure, flows evenly & filled lavishly and artistically with carvings of almost all the eight Ampicious symbols including the Conch-shell, the Dharma-chakra, two Golden fishes, the Lotus, the Parasol, the Treasure vase and the knot and the thirteen mantras of Buddhism, the most powerful being-“Om Mani Padme Hum”.

A well set lengthy scarf-like border awesomely carved & inlaid in copper is wrapped on the robe. Representing his iconic attributes in a wonderous manner are the lengthened earlobes signifying his ability of hearing the sufferings of the world to be cured; the short & tight ringlet curled hair on the head symbolising getting rid of ignorance; the three divine Shiva-lines on the kanthika enhancing his soulful voice; with the beautiful eyebrows over the closed eyes means looking inward of self; and the third eye on the forehead are amazingly carved. Overall, this crowning beauty of buddha in brass with the copper-inlay carvings of three Shiva- lines, eyebrows, the third eye, the lotus in the palm and the long scarf shows an intact figure with the expression of the face making up his descent, soulful and divine being.

A Beacon of Wisdom and Compassion

This exquisite brass statue, meticulously crafted with intricate copper wire inlay, captures the serene presence of Lord Buddha in the Vitark Mudra. This gesture, with the right hand raised and palm facing outwards, thumb and index finger touching, is a powerful symbol of debate, discussion, and the transmission of the Buddha's teachings. It signifies the turning of the Dharma wheel and the flow of wisdom, inviting contemplation and understanding. The robe of the Buddha is not merely fabric but a canvas adorned with auspicious symbols and mantras. These intricate etchings are more than decorative; they are imbued with spiritual significance, representing the blessings and protection offered by the enlightened one. Each symbol, a vestige of ancient lore, whispers tales of spiritual journeys and the path to liberation. The lotus flower, a recurring motif, symbolizes purity, enlightenment, and rebirth, as it rises unstained from the muddy depths. The swirling patterns evoke the cosmic dance of creation and the interconnectedness of all beings. Crafted from durable brass and enhanced with the warm glow of copper, this statue is a testament to traditional craftsmanship. The contrasting metals not only add visual depth but also carry their own symbolic weight. Brass, often associated with prosperity and the divine, complements the spiritual essence of the piece, while the copper inlay provides a striking accent, drawing the eye to the sacred inscriptions. This statue serves as a focal point for meditation, a reminder of the Buddha's eternal teachings, and a source of peace for any space it graces. ––––––––––––––––––

The Symbolism of the Vitark Mudra

In Buddhist iconography, the Vitark Mudra holds a special place, representing the moment of discourse and the dispelling of doubt. It is often seen as the gesture of reassurance and the transmission of knowledge, echoing the Buddha's parables and his patient guidance of his disciples. Ancient texts recount how the Buddha, when questioned, would adopt this mudra to explain the Dharma, his words flowing like a gentle stream of truth. This pose is a visual representation of "Viteka," meaning "argument" or "discussion," but in a spiritual context, it signifies the reasoned and compassionate unfolding of the Buddha's insights, leading followers from ignorance to understanding. It is a gesture that invites interaction, encouraging seekers to engage with the teachings and to find their own path to enlightenment. ––––––––––––––––––

An Enduring Legacy of Serenity

The presence of this statue can transform any environment into a sanctuary of peace and mindfulness. The calming aura emanating from the serene countenance of the Buddha, combined with the spiritual resonance of the adorned robe, creates an atmosphere conducive to reflection and spiritual growth. It is more than just an object of art; it is a conduit to the wisdom and tranquility that Lord Buddha embodies. Whether placed in a home, office, or meditation space, this striking piece serves as a constant reminder of the enduring principles of compassion, wisdom, and the pursuit of inner peace. Its substantial build and intricate details speak to a timeless devotion and an appreciation for the sacred art forms that have graced cultures for centuries, echoing the grand traditions of Buddhist art and spirituality.

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.
