The Shakyamuni Buddha is portrayed seated, capturing his enlightened essence. He performs the Bhumisparsha Mudra with his right hand, also known as the earth-touching gesture. This symbolises the pivotal moment of his enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree, where he called upon the earth to witness his awakening. He holds an alms bowl in his left hand, reflecting his life as a wandering monk and his deep compassion for all living beings. A radiant halo shines behind his head, representing the wisdom and compassion accompanying his enlightened state. He sits on a throne adorned with lion carvings, which signify strength, courage, and royal power, illustrating his mastery over the world and his teachings. His two prominent disciples, Shariputra and Maudgalyayana, are flanking him, both highly revered for their wisdom and miraculous abilities. They hold staffs, indicating their roles as monks and spiritual seekers. Seated on lotus bases, they embody purity, spiritual growth, and the journey toward enlightenment.

Shariputra, known for his wisdom, and Maudgalyayana, celebrated for his psychic powers, were two of his foremost disciples, pivotal in preserving and transmitting the Buddha's Dharma to the early Sangha.
