The Buddha sits gracefully in the lotus position (padmasana), symbolizing his steady concentration and triumph over worldly distractions. His right hand reaches down in the bhumisparsha mudra, calling the earth to witness his enlightenment. At the same time, his left hand rests calmly in his lap, holding an alms bowl, representing renunciation and the humble monastic path. Crowning his head is the ushnisha, a sign of his awakened wisdom, while his elongated ears reveal a noble past and deep connection to the world. With a serene and composed face, he embodies inner peace and meditative stillness, guiding the seeker toward a path of mindfulness and liberation.

Shakyamuni Siddhartha Gautama was the name given to him before his enlightenment. Only after attaining enlightenment was he given the name Shakyamuni Buddha. Buddha means "awakened one" in Sanskrit. In his left hand, he carries an alms bowl filled with three priceless nectars, signifying his victory over the three demons of uncontrollable death, polluted aggregates, and delusion.
