Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical Buddha and founder of Buddhism. Born as a prince in ancient India, he renounced worldly life in search of truth and liberation from suffering. After years of meditation and spiritual practice, he attained enlightenment (bodhi) under the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya and became the Buddha, or "Awakened One."
