Shakyamuni Buddha

This Shakyamuni Buddha Thangka beautifully captures the Buddha in a state of deep meditation, seated on a lotus throne, symbolizing purity and enlightenment. With his right hand touching the earth (Bhumisparsha Mudra), he calls the earth to witness his awakening, while his left hand holds a begging bowl, representing wisdom and detachment from worldly desires. The painting is rich in detail, from the golden aura around him to the blooming lotuses and flowing water, all symbolizing peace and spiritual awakening. Standing beside him are two devoted disciples, likely Sariputra and Maudgalyayana, shown in reverence. More than just art, this Thangka is a symbol of wisdom, mindfulness, and inner peace, making it a powerful piece for meditation and devotion.
