Shakyamuni Siddhartha Gautama was the name given before he attained enlightenment. It was only after becoming the Buddha that he earned the title Shakyamuni, meaning "awakened one" in Sanskrit. In his left hand, he holds an alms bowl containing three precious nectars, symbolizing his triumph over the three formidable foes: untimely death, corrupted elements, and illusion. This sacred symbol from Nepalese Buddhist tradition tells a story of profound victory and spiritual awakening.
