In Buddhist lore, the association of deers with Lord Buddha is rooted in an ancient tale. It is said that when Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree, deers, captivated by the serenity of the moment, gathered around him in the Deer Park of Sarnath. Their peaceful presence symbolizes the harmony and compassion that radiated from Buddha's enlightened state.

This Lord Buddha Seated Under the Bodhi Tree Pattachitra Painting masterfully captures this narrative. The watercolor on silk technique enhances the ethereal quality, while the blue background accentuates the divine atmosphere. The use of black lines skillfully outlines the figures, drawing attention to the tranquil Buddha beneath the intricately crafted Bodhi Tree. The stylized and graceful depiction of deer adds a touch of grace to the scene.

The ornate frame within the painting serves as a metaphorical window, inviting viewers to glimpse the enlightened state of Buddha as if peering into reality through the window of their own eyes. The painting harmoniously merges storytelling and artistic expression to evoke a sense of peace and spiritual contemplation.
