The traditional portrayal of Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as the historical Buddha, captures the pivotal moment of his enlightenment. In this statue, Shakyamuni's right hand gracefully reaches towards the earth. This gesture symbolizes the instance when he summoned the earth to bear witness to his triumph over Mara, the supreme deity of the realm of samsara, who attempted to divert him from his meditation.
The earth itself responded with tremors and quakes, acknowledging Shakyamuni's ascension to Buddhahood. Resting in a meditative pose, his left-hand finds repose in his lap, holding his alms bowl, a testament to his profound spiritual journey.
