Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted in a serene, meditative state with his eyes gently closed, embodying profound tranquility and an enlightened presence. His right hand rests in the bhūmisparśa mudrā (earth-touching gesture), symbolizing the moment he called upon the Earth to bear witness to his enlightenment. In his left hand, he holds an alms bowl, representing renunciation and the simplicity of the monastic life. Above his head sits the uṣṇīṣa, a symbol of supreme wisdom, while his hair is styled in coils resembling snails, referencing the story of snails shielding him from the sun during his deep meditation. He sits gracefully in the vajra posture upon a moon disc lotus base, symbolizing stability, spiritual purity, and unwavering focus. A radiant silver halo shines behind him, further illuminating his enlightened form, enhancing the statue’s symbolism of divine light and wisdom. This beautifully refined iconography pays tribute to the historical Buddha—serene, dignified, and deeply symbolic.

Gautama Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni Buddha, was a spiritual teacher and the founder of Buddhism, born as Siddhartha Gautama in ancient Nepal. Renouncing his royal life in search of truth, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and shared the path to liberation from suffering. At the core of his teachings are the Four Noble Truths: the truth of suffering (duḥkha), its origin (samudaya), its cessation (nirodha), and the path leading to its cessation (mārga). This path is known as the Noble Eightfold Path, which includes right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration—a guide to ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom that leads to the end of suffering and ultimate freedom (nirvāṇa).
