The Maitreya Buddha is an important and culturally rich image of a future Buddha. One lineage of Buddhism is the Buddha. The painting technique of the Newari tradition is demonstrated by the meticulous depictions of Maitreya Buddha, who frequently sports elaborate headdresses, jewelry, and clothes. A deviation from more traditional Buddhist images is the portrayal of the Maitreya Buddha as a young prince. His leg is hanging down, and he is displaying a casual stance and a teaching gesture with his hands. Maitreya, the Buddha of the future, represents the hope and expectation of future enlightenment, and this thangka embodies the creative and spiritual traditions of the Newar people.
