About the Earth-Touching Mudra

The Buddha reaches down and touches the ground to call the earth as witness to his awakening under the Bodhi tree. It is a gesture of steadiness and resolve.

Red robes are common in Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhist art, and in many Asian cultures red is linked to protection and good fortune.

Care

Dust with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush, and keep it out of long direct sun, which fades paint.
