The figure represented in the statue is recognized as Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as the historical Buddha. The depiction shows him in the Padmasana of meditation, with a straight back and wearing a simple monk's robe. The protuberance at the top of his head symbolizes his transcendent wisdom, and his elongated earlobes are characteristic features. The statue's hand gestures convey important messages; the right hand touching the earth symbolizes his triumph over the God of the world, and the left hand in meditation gesture represents inner reflection. The alms bowl held in his left hand signifies his role as a wandering monk.
