According to legends, Muchalinda represents protection, transformation, and the interconnectedness of all beings. When Buddha was meditating under the Bodhi tree, a severe storm arose. In an act of compassion, Muchalinda emerged from the depths of the earth and coiled around Buddha several times, forming a protective shelter with its hood. The serpent shielded him until the storm subsided and enlightenment was attained. In this depiction, Lord Buddha (the Awakened One) sits in deep meditation with his right hand in a gesture of blessing, emanating boundless compassion. This stupendous brass creation represents Buddha’s enlightenment amidst the storm of temptation and the triumph over fear and desire, inspiring you to find inner strength and attain liberation from suffering through wisdom and compassion.
