Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as the Sage of the Shakya Clan, was born as Siddhartha Gautama into the Shakya clan in present-day Nepal. Renouncing his royal life after encountering the suffering of old age, sickness, and death, he sought enlightenment and attained Buddhahood under the Bodhi tree. The title Shakyamuni combines his clan’s name with Muni, meaning "sage." In iconography, Shakyamuni Buddha is seated on a lotus throne adorned with floral motifs, symbolizing purity and spiritual awakening. His right hand forms the Bhumisparsha Mudra —the earth-touching gesture—signifying his enlightenment and triumph over Mara. His left hand holds an alms bowl, representing both his life as a humble monk and his detachment from material needs. He is positioned in the vajra(full-lotus) posture, denoting stability and deep meditative concentration. His serene expression reflects profound wisdom, inner peace, and boundless compassion. Through these symbolic elements, Shakyamuni Buddha conveys the path to enlightenment and serves as a compassionate guide for all beings.
