Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha, is often depicted seated in the lotus posture with a serene expression symbolizing enlightenment and inner peace. His right hand is typically shown in the Bhumisparsha mudra (earth-touching gesture), calling the earth to witness his awakening, while the left hand rests in his lap holding a begging bowl, representing renunciation and the monastic path. The elongated earlobes signify his royal past and the rejection of material wealth, and the ushnisha (cranial bump) represents his transcendent wisdom. Sometimes, a halo or aura surrounds his head, symbolizing spiritual radiance, and the folds of his robes emphasize simplicity and detachment

Siddhartha Gautama, known as Shakyamuni Buddha, was the historical founder of Buddhism. Born a prince in ancient Lumbini (modern-day Nepal), he renounced his worldly life to seek an end to suffering. Through intense meditation and self-discovery, he achieved full enlightenment, spending the rest of his life teaching the Dharma, the path to liberation.
