Product Description

Bring wealth, happiness, and unstoppable success into your space with this charming 4-inch brass standing Laughing Buddha idol with raised hands — one of the most powerful and beloved feng shui and Vastu showpieces. Known across cultures by his many auspicious names — Hotei, Budai, Pu-Tai, Happy Buddha, Smiling Buddha, Fat Buddha, Buddha of Wealth, Maitreya Buddha (the Future Buddha), Cloth-Bag Monk, and the Laughing Monk — this iconic figure originated as a 10th-century Chinese Zen monk celebrated for his cheerful nature, generosity, and divine ability to spread joy wherever he went.

This delightfully expressive murti depicts the Laughing Buddha in his standing Victory Pose — both arms raised triumphantly above his head, holding ingots or gold balls (representing wealth and prosperity), with his mouth wide open in hearty, infectious laughter. The standing posture is exceptionally powerful and dynamic, symbolising active success, the upward rise of fortune, victory celebration, and the energetic flow of abundance reaching every corner of your space. His prominent round belly — a hallmark feature — is believed to be the divine storehouse of all troubles and worries, transforming negativity into pure joy for those who rub it.

Crafted from premium-grade solid brass with a warm golden antique finish, this statue showcases meticulous detailing — the Buddha's broad smile, twinkling eyes, large auspicious ears (a sign of wisdom and long life), flowing traditional robes, and the symbolic ingots in his uplifted hands. Standing 4 inches tall on his own sturdy base, this figurine has substantial visual presence — making it the perfect centrepiece for prosperity-focused spaces.

This brass standing Laughing Buddha is ideal for office desks, business cabins, cash counters, billing tables, shop entrances, reception desks, study tables, home shelves, wealth corners, and premium gifting hampers.
