About Our Making Process

At Bhunes, each Brass Fasting Buddha Idol (also called Shakyamuni in Fasting Phase, Skeleton Buddha, Tapa Buddha, or Bhikshu Buddha) is handcrafted by skilled Indian artisans using traditional lost-wax casting and finishing techniques. This rare form of Kankal Buddha Murti depicts Siddhartha Gautama during his severe ascetic meditation phase, representing profound self-discipline, renunciation, and spiritual awakening. Cast in solid brass (Pitala / Pittalum / Ashtadhatu / Hitale), the sculpture features antique-style detailing and a weathered patina that reflects ancient Indian Buddhist craftsmanship.
