The 24th and final Tirthankara (teacher) of the Jain tradition. Son of Trishala and Siddhartha, devotees of Parshvanath. Kshatriya royalty by birth, an ascetic of the highest order by temperament. Lord Mahavira or Vardhamana is an attainer of kevala jnana (omniscience) and moksha (transworldly liberation), and founder of the religion of the Jainas.
The brass murti of Mahavira Vardhamana Jain that you see on this page is fashioned from pure brass. In fact, it is a single-cast masterpiece that is fit for consecration and ritual worship. Full, lithe limbs. A sharp, minimalist silhouette. Hands and feet and composure of countenance, swimming with life and blessing and deep sacredness.
Note the sheer texture of the divine form. The pale colour of molten gold comes from not only the medium of sterling purity, but also the clarity of the artisan’s shraddha (devotion). This explains the lifelike expression swimming in the eyes of Mahavira.
