The multi-tiered throne and flanking attendants further emphasize a royal, formalized expression of the dharma, symbolizing absolute spiritual authority. The raised right hand in the Abhaya mudra offers boundless fearlessness to the devotee, assuring protection on the path to enlightenment.

It serves as a profound dual-tone brass Abhaya idol for spiritual spaces, integrating seamlessly into classical Buddhist altar decor with an intensely architectural presence. Standing at ten and a half inches tall, the structure shares the approximate vertical height of a standard one-liter glass water bottle. At a concentrated 2.53 kg, the dense cast metal ensures the towering structure remains absolutely planted without tipping. The immense foundry skill required to perfectly balance the overarching parasol stem validates this piece as an exceptional work of artisanal devotion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 12.0pt 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eEnshrine your most revered spiritual relics by placing a distressed meditating Buddha directly within this canopy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Casa Mandala ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46190839333039,"sku":"VSP-076","price":7600.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8851\/9855\/files\/146_Compressed.jpg?v=1762167364","url":"https:\/\/www.thecasamandala.com\/products\/antique-brass-buddha-shrine","provider":"Casa Mandala ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
