This is a colored brass statue of Buddha in Bhumisparsha mudra inlaid with precious and semi-precious stones. In Sanskrit, Bhumisparsha means touching the earth. The Buddha’s enlightenment invited the earth goddess, Sthavara, to bear witness to his attainment of enlightenment, which is symbolized by this mudra. It is formed with all five fingers of the right hand extended to touch the ground and the left hand can be seen with the palm upright in his lap.
It is believed that the demon Mara tried to frighten him with the armies of demons including his daughters who tried to tempt him to get out of meditation just before he realized enlightenment. It is also believed that in this pose Shakyamuni overcame the obstructions of Mara while meditating on Truth.
Placing this brass statue of Buddha in the east direction at home stimulates positive energy and will help in reducing stress and anxiety.
