Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical founder of Buddhism, is portrayed seated in padmasana (lotus posture) upon a lotus base, symbolizing purity and spiritual elevation above worldly attachments. His right hand touches the earth in the bhumisparsha mudra (earth-touching gesture), representing the moment of enlightenment when he called upon the Earth to witness his victory over Māra, the embodiment of delusion.
His left hand rests in dhyana mudra (meditation gesture) upon his lap, signifying deep contemplation and inner balance. The ushnisha, the cranial protuberance atop his head, represents his supreme wisdom and awakened consciousness. Together, these features express Shakyamuni Buddha’s serene presence, enlightenment, and the union of wisdom and compassion.
