This brass statue depicts Lord Buddha seated in the Dharmachakra Mudra, a gesture symbolizing the teaching of the Wheel of Dharma. The statue is painted in a rich dark chocolate shade, creating a striking contrast with the golden hues of Buddha's face, palms, and feet. The halo behind Buddha's head is the focal point of this statue, magnificently decorated with intricate floral patterns and bordered by lotus petals, adding a divine radiance to his presence.
Buddha sits with half-closed eyes, exuding a serene and meditative aura, while his hands are positioned in the Dharmachakra Mudra, indicating the turning of the wheel of law. The frame supporting Buddha from the back is ornately decorated with Simha Yalis and Gaja Yalis, mythical creatures symbolizing strength and protection. Below, two women devotees are seen worshipping him, alongside two guardian Tibetan snow lions, adding a layer of cultural richness and reverence.
This statue bears a resemblance to Thai statues of Buddha, characterized by a head crowned by a hemispherical ushnisha, signifying Buddha's elevated spiritual status. His long earlobes, stretched from his youth as a prince wearing heavy gold earrings, and his profile, with broad shoulders and a slender waist, are covered by an ornate Sanghati robe (traditional robe worn by Buddhist monks) worn over both shoulders, completing this exquisite representation of Buddha.
