Himalayan Shakyamuni Buddha measures 20.5 cm (8.1 inches) in height and 15 cm (5.9 inches) in width, with a weight of 1.41 kg. Expertly crafted from an oxidized copper body, it features detailed acrylic paintings that highlight its intricate design.
In this exquisite Himalayan sculpture, Shakyamuni Buddha is portrayed seated serenely in padmasana on a radiant lotus base, a vivid emblem of spiritual purity and the gradual blossoming of enlightenment. His right hand reaches down to touch the earth in the bhumisparsa mudra, a powerful gesture calling upon the Earth itself to witness his profound awakening. This moment captures not just a gesture, but a cosmic testimony to the Buddha’s triumph over ignorance. At the same time, his left hand rests peacefully in his lap holding an alms bowl, symbolizing the renunciation of worldly attachments and the embrace of a simple monastic life. These combined elements tell a timeless story—the journey from seeking to realization, and the unwavering commitment to the path of wisdom.

Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Gautama Buddha or Siddhartha Gautama, is celebrated as the historical founder of Buddhism. His name, "Shakyamuni," means “Sage of the Shakya clan,” a nod to his royal heritage. Born around the 5th to 6th century BCE in what is now Lumbini, Nepal, he chose to leave behind a life of luxury and royalty. Driven by a deep desire to understand and overcome human suffering, he embarked on a courageous journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. This story of transformation from prince to enlightened sage continues to inspire countless people around the world, reminding us all that true wisdom often begins with the courage to seek beyond our comforts.
