Shakyamuni Buddha is shown in a serene, meditative pose with half-closed eyes, reflecting deep inner calm and enlightened awareness. His right hand performs the bhūmisparśa mudrā (earth-touching gesture), marking the moment he summoned the Earth to bear witness to his awakening. In his left hand, he holds an alms bowl, representing simplicity and the renounced life of a monk. His head features the uṣṇīṣa, a symbol of supreme wisdom, and his hair is styled in distinctive snail-like curls, inspired by the story of snails shielding him from the sun during long meditation sessions. Seated in the vajra posture on a lotus with a moon disc base, he embodies stability, purity, and focused concentration. This elegant iconography pays tribute to the historical Buddha’s calm, dignified, and significant presence.

Gautama Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni Buddha, was a spiritual teacher and the founder of Buddhism, born as Siddhartha Gautama in ancient Nepal. Renouncing his royal life in search of truth, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and shared the path to liberation from suffering. At the core of his teachings are the Four Noble Truths: the truth of suffering (duḥkha), its origin (samudaya), its cessation (nirodha), and the path leading to its cessation (mārga). This path is known as the Noble Eightfold Path, which includes right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration—a guide to ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom that leads to the end of suffering and ultimate freedom (nirvāṇa).
