Abhaya mudra Jainism Symbols Adjustable Open Ring

The Abhaya mudra, or fear-repelling mudra, may be observed in depictions of people sitting, standing, and walking. It is one of the oldest mudras, appearing on a variety of Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Sikh figures. The gesture can be performed with the right, left, or both hands. The hand is held up, palm outward, fingers clasped, and the arm is bent at the elbow. Protection, tranquility, compassion, and reassurance are some things that the Abhaya Mudra represents.
