The Varadamudra () or Abheeshta Mudra, often translated as Wish-granting Mudra or Wish-bestowing Mudra, is a symbolic gesture featured in the iconography of Indian religions. It indicates a gesture by the hand and symbolises dispensing of boons. 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.
