Sitting Buddha in Bhumiparsha mudra handmade by award wining artist R. Mani in Sandstone. The Buddha is sitting on top of a lotus flower, symbol of purity and bliss, marking his Enlightened Presence.Bhumiparsha is an iconic hand gesture. Also known as earth touching, it marks the moment Buddha attained enlightenment, sitting under the Bhodi tree in Bodh Gaya, North India. Handmade from sandstone, the artist shows most intricate details of the drapery flowing down Buddha's body, the ushishna crown, the curls on his head, as well as his elongated years.

This statue is perfect for indoors, as well as outdoors for your garden, balcony or patio.

PS: With all hand made stone and wood sculptures, there might be some naturally occurring erosion, cracks, spots, but that adds to the one of kind pieces that we sell here at Mystik River.

 ABOUT ARTIST - R. MANI

R. Mani born in 1965 , is originally from Mahabalipuram located in Tamil Nadu state, South India. Mani was brought up surrounded by art. His father, Dhruva Pratap was a well-known sculptor and maintained and restored the sculptures of the famous Konark Temple in South India, passing on his skills to his son.

R. Mani sources his inspiration from world famous temples of India such as Meenakshi, Khajuraho, Ellora Cave to name but a few. Influenced by Gupta and Kushan style sculptures, the artist specializes on traditional Indian Gods and Goddesses. He works with traditional Indian materials such as Sandstone, Granite and Marble

Holder of two awards from the President of India, he is especially well known for his Buddha sculptures. He imbues his Buddha faces with such serenity and a sense of blissfulness that it’s no surprise they are used by so many to assist in deep meditation in some of the leading meditation centres around the world. His intricate Goddess figures are equally revered and he has exhibited his work both in Germany and the USA.
