Bhaishajyaguru or the healing Buddha. Instantly recognisable from the nectar-pot in the left hand, containing a blend of three life-giving and -sustaining elixirs, and the myrobalan twig in the right. Also known as the medicine Buddha.
The Bhaishajyaguru murti that you see on this page is a heavily and luxuriantly carved composition. On a high plinth He sits, roughly a third of the seated figure’s stature. The robe drawn over His princely shoulders is engraved with episodes from the life of Shakyamuni. Beneath the same is a complexion of molten gold colour.
The strikingly lifelike face of the Buddha bears an expression of deep introspection. Profound, seedless samadhi writ large over His princely brow.
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.
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.
