Siddhartha Gautam Budh Statue, Hand-crafted Sculpture of Nepal
Siddhartha Gautam Budh Statue was expertly hand-sculpted in our studio using the traditional Himalayan art style. We have been making statues of Buddhist holy figures for over ten years, following traditional Buddhist artistic guidelines. This statue depicts Gautama Buddha sitting on a lotus seat with a peaceful expression, representing the moment of his enlightenment. The statue shows Gautama holding an alms bowl in his left hand and making the "earth-touching" mudra with his right hand. The use of oxidized copper in the statue's construction gives it an aged, antique appearance.
This figurine of Historical Buddha will be a perfect gift from Nepal to a devotee like you that will aid you in your practices and regular activities such as meditation and yoga.

Siddhartha Gautama was born as the crown prince of the mighty Shakya Kingdom and nurtured to be a king in line with his royal father's aspirations. However, when he was around 29 years old, he learned about people's tremendous pain in life. He abandoned his palace life and gave up his magnificent robes and gold to uncover the reasons for this anguish and the methods to alleviate it. After nearly six years of study, self-deprivation, and severe concentration, he achieved his aim. He had attained enlightenment (a Buddha). He claimed to have then proceeded to a deer park in Sarnath (Benares), India, on the outskirts of Varanasi.
