Maitreya is depicted seated on a beautifully crafted throne featuring a Garuda at the apex, Makara sea creatures on the sides, and elephants at the base, symbolizing strength and protection.

The statue is crowned with a five-pointed crown representing the Five Dhyani Buddhas, symbolizing enlightened qualities. A swirling silk scarf (khata) drapes gracefully around the figure, signifying auspicious blessings, respect, and spiritual openness. His hands form the dharmachakra mudrā—the gesture of turning the Wheel of Dharma—while two lotus flowers rise at his shoulders: the right lotus holding the Dharma wheel, and the left bearing a kalasha, representing abundance and spiritual authority.
