His left hand rests in his lap in the dhyana mudra of meditation, holding an alms bowl that signifies his absolute renunciation of worldly excess. The elaborate prabhamandala framing this Bhumisparsha Buddha idol represents the aura of enlightenment, teeming with carved mythological beasts that symbolize the chaotic forces of the universe brought into order.

The reflective silver torso demands ambient, indirect lighting rather than harsh overhead spots, allowing the shadows in the aureole to deepen naturally. Standing at 9.2 inches tall, the piece spans roughly the length of an open hand from base to the tip of the arch, making it a prominent meditation room centerpiece. At a dense 3.16 kg, this is a heavy, substantial object that physically settles the room it occupies. Acquiring this piece means possessing the result of immense artisan hours, as casting the elaborate backing arch and executing the exacting mixed-metal plating requires mastery of the highest order.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: HI;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eGround the enlightened presence of this piece by introducing the warm, aromatic utility of an antique brass incense burner to your meditation space.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casa Mandala ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46116515086511,"sku":"VSP-001","price":9500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8851\/9855\/files\/Dual-Tone_Brass_Buddha_Statue_in_Bhumisparsha_mudra_for_a_meditation_room_centerpiece..jpg?v=1781009592","url":"https:\/\/www.thecasamandala.com\/products\/dual-tone-brass-buddha-statue-casa-mandala","provider":"Casa Mandala ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
