Shakyamuni Buddha is traditionally depicted with an ushnisha, a prominent, rounded bump on his head that signifies his profound spiritual insight and enlightenment. A well-known legend tells of snails crawling onto his head during intense meditation to shield him from the sun’s rays—an expression of nature’s reverence for his dedication to spiritual practice. His right hand reaches down in the bhumisparsha mudra, or “earth-touching” gesture, capturing the pivotal moment when he called the earth to witness his awakening beneath the Bodhi tree. Seated in the vajra posture, a stable cross-legged position, he rests atop a lotus pedestal shaped like a moon disc, representing spiritual purity and awakening. Draped in a plain monastic robe, he reflects the core Buddhist values of renunciation and compassion. Behind him glows a radiant halo, symbolizing his divine wisdom and enlightened presence. A mantra is carved into the black base, imbuing the statue with blessings and spiritual power.

Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Gautama Buddha or Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism. Born as a prince in the 6th century BCE in what is now Nepal, he renounced his royal life in search of a solution to human suffering. After years of spiritual practice and deep meditation, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India. From then on, he became known as Shakyamuni, meaning "Sage of the Shakya Clan."
