The beautiful brass image of the Lord Gautam Buddha has been nicely carved out with the auspicious eight symbols which are said to be capable of bringing happiness, prosperity and protection to those who use them as ornaments or amulets. These are always considered as a powerful instrument that gave happiness and protection to all people.

The miraculous beneficial powers associated with Astamangala made ancient kings wear these 8 symbols on their crown. It was also common to wear the symbols on the forehead or on the waist belt. Such wearing was said to give long life and protection from enemies to the wearer and prosperity to the country.
