The abhayamudra gestureDewi Sri (Parvati) with her right hand in the abhayamudra, Bali Indonesia.[1]
The abhayamudra (Sanskrit: अभयमुद्रा, romanized: abhayamudrā, lit. 'gesture of fearlessness')[2] is a mudra (gesture) that is the gesture of reassurance and safety, which dispels fear and accords divine protection and bliss in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other Indian religions. The right hand is held upright, and the palm is facing outwards.[3] This is one of the earliest mudras found depicted on a number of Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Sikh images.
