The Varadamudra (Sanskrit: वरदमुद्रा, romanized: varadamudrā) or Abheeshta Mudra is a mudra, a symbolic gesture featured in the iconography of Indian religions.
It indicates a gesture by the hand and symbolises dispensing of boons.
[1] It is represented by the palm held outward, with the fingers outstretched and pointing downwards.
Sometimes, the thumb and the index finger meet, forming a circle.
[2] The Varadamudra and the Abhayamudra are the most common of several other mudras seen on divine figures in the art of Indian religions.
