The Bhumisparsha Mudra, sometimes referred to as the "Earth-touching" or "calling the earth witness" mudra, is the one most frequently observed on Shakyamuni Buddha. In this mudra, Lord Buddha's right-hand touches the ground, while his left hand rests in his lap. This mudra is connected to the occasion when he became enlightened beneath the Bodhi tree.
The Buddha's victory over the powers of ignorance and delusion is symbolised by the Bhumisparsha Mudra. It is an expression of resolve and unwavering stance, designating the Earth as a witness to his awakening. Shakyamuni Buddha sculptures frequently display this mudra, which acts as a potent reminder of both the interdependence of all beings and the journey from ignorance to enlightenment. The pose symbolizes the crucial moment when Siddhartha Gautama became the Buddha by achieving enlightenment through unshakable commitment.
