Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, was a spiritual teacher who lived around the 5th–4th century BCE in ancient India. Born a prince in the Shakya clan, he renounced his royal life in search of a solution to human suffering. After years of deep meditation and ascetic practice, he attained enlightenment (bodhi) under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya. From then on, he became known as Shakyamuni Buddha, meaning "the Awakened One from the Shakya Clan."
