Half White Marble
Budha in Bhumisparshi Mudra
$3,200
Bhumi Sparshi ( Earth Witness) Mudra: This mudra, formed with all five fingers of the right hand extended to touch the ground, symbolizes the Buddha's enlightenment under the bodhi tree, when he summoned the earth goddess, Sthavara, to bear witness to his attainment of enlightenment. The right hand, placed upon the right knee in earth-pressing mudra, and complemented by the left hand-which is held flat in the lap in the dhyana mudra of meditation, symbolizes the union of method and wisdom, samasara and nirvana, and also the realizations of the conventional and ultimate truths. It is in this posture that Shakyamuni overcame the obstructions of Mara while meditating on Truth.
Suggested Placement: Carved out of white marble these sculptures can be entrenched in the Puja room or the living room.
Note: In all its grandeur this can be custom made i.e hand sculpted over a specific time frame.
