Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted in a calm, meditative state with half-closed eyes, embodying profound inner peace and an awakened presence. His right hand is in the bhumisparsha mudrā (earth-touching gesture), signifying the moment he called the Earth to witness his enlightenment. His left hand holds an alms bowl, symbolizing renunciation and the simplicity of the monastic path. Atop his head rests the ushnisha, representing supreme wisdom, while his hair is styled in snail-like coils, referencing the well-known story of snails protecting him from the sun during prolonged meditation. He sits gracefully in the lotus posture on a moon disc lotus base, conveying stability, spiritual purity, and unwavering focus. The base is elaborately adorned with detailed carvings of animals, including elephants and lions—symbols of strength, protection, and nobility—and features a consort figure at the center, enriching the statue's sacred symbolism. This refined iconography honors the profound presence of the historical Buddha—serene, dignified, and deeply symbolic.

Shakyamuni Buddha renounced his royal life to pursue a more profound truth that transcended material pleasures and suffering. He was born Prince Siddhartha of the Shakya clan. After years of rigorous asceticism and meditation, he became enlightened under the Bodhi tree and became the Buddha—the Awakened One. He then dedicated his life to teaching the Eightfold Path and the Four Noble Truths to attain liberation. Shakyamuni Buddha stands for the potential for all beings to awaken. He embodies wisdom that leads to ultimate freedom, the victory over ignorance, and the tranquility of non-attachment. His presence is a timeless reminder of the transformative power of inner realization, compassion, and mindfulness.
