Jiwa Water Fountain with Meditating Buddha, approx. 150 cm high
The Jiwa Water Fountain impresses as a striking water feature with profound spiritual effects. The sitting Buddha figure radiates calmness and concentration. Water gently emerges from the highest point of the head and flows evenly down several steps. Thus, the Buddha itself becomes the source – a powerful symbol of mental clarity, enlightenment, and the flow of inner energy.
The hands are folded in the lap, forming the traditional Dhyana Mudra, a meditation gesture representing inner focus, balance, and mental centering. The closed eyes and gentle facial expression emphasize the meditative atmosphere. The name “Jiwa,” Indonesian for “soul,” makes it clear: This fountain is more than decoration – it invites you to pause, find peace, and recharge.
Made from a combination of reinforced concrete and fiberglass, the fountain is weather-resistant, robust, and yet manageable. The surface features a dark shimmering finish reminiscent of weathered stone. All details, from the robe texture to the facial features, are carefully hand-finished. This creates a unique work of art that transforms your garden, courtyard, or reception area into a place of quiet energy.
Buddha Figures in Bali – Symbolism and Spiritual Presence
Although Bali has a Hindu influence, representations of Buddha are widespread and are seen as a complement to spiritual diversity. In many Balinese gardens and temples, a serene Buddha can be found sitting under trees or placed next to water sources. It symbolizes universal values such as silence, insight, and inner balance, harmoniously fitting into the Hindu pantheon.
In Bali, Buddha figures are not for worship but stand as symbols of tranquility, compassion, clarity, and enlightenment. Especially in combination with water – a sacred element – they create places that are more than mere decoration. They invite you to find peace and consciously experience the moment.
Balinese art expresses this symbolic power in an expressive yet simple way. Each figure, whether made of stone, wood, or concrete, carries the silent message within: Everything flows, everything clarifies, everything begins within you.
