Shakyamuni Buddha, born as Siddhartha Gautama in Lumbini (present-day Nepal), is the historical Buddha and founder of Buddhism. After renouncing his princely life in search of truth, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya. His teachings of the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path reveal the way to overcome suffering and attain nirvāṇa. In Buddhist art, he is often shown seated in padmasana, with his right hand in the bhumisparsha mudra, symbolizing enlightenment, and his left hand holding an alms bowl, reflecting simplicity and detachment.
