The Buddha is shown in the bhūmisparśa mudrā, with his right hand touching the earth—a gesture that symbolizes the moment of his enlightenment. His left hand gently rests in his lap, holding an alms bowl, reflecting renunciation and compassion. The statue features the ushnisha (crown-like protuberance) atop his head, elongated earlobes signifying wisdom and awareness, and a finely detailed lotus base inlaid with gemstones.

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."
