Shakyamuni Buddha is painted in a Lotus throne seated posture and symbolically expresses his renunciation of worldly life through the topknot on his head. His right hand is in the “Bhumisparsha mudra” (earth-touching gesture) and his left hand rests in his lap with a serene look on his face. Shakyamuni Buddha’s hand gestures are meaningful; the “Bhumisparsha mudra” with his right hand touching the earth symbolizes the point of his enlightenment, while his left hand resting in his lap signifies meditation and composure. This type of Thangka portrays him with longer earlobes (symbol of his royal birth), a ushnisha (symbol of his wisdom) and three horizontal lines on his neck (representing his rich and melodious voice).
The exquisite Shakyamuni Buddha Thangka Painting portrays the Buddhist saint dressed in subdued robes, symbolizing his asceticism and mental focus.
