The stately, seated Buddha. Limbs gathered in ardhapadmasana, the hands in signature contemplative mudra. A lotus bloom of multitudinous petals beneath Him. A perfectly regal form, and a face so irresistibly blissful that one may not gaze away.
The Buddha sculpture that you see on this page is a substantially large composition. It is sculpted entirely from bronze, the pure quality of which explains the burnt gold colour finish with green overtones. Behind the seated figure is a structure resembling the back of a chariot (note the simhayali), which is symbolic of that fateful chariot ride Shakyamuni Siddhartha took into the city.
Sachamara disciples on either side behind the chariot back. Sheshanaga hoods rising above their heads, indicative of Lord Vishnu (of whom Buddha is an avatara). At the zenith of this Buddha sculpture is a densely and skilfully engraved section resembling a chariot top.
