This traditional Tibetan Buddhist art honors Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha, known as Shakyamuni Buddha. The painting typically shows him in a meditative Dhyanamudra pose with his right hand in the Bhumisparsha mudra, and his left hand holding an alms bowl. His peaceful visage features a topknot symbolizing his abandonment of a worldly life, along with long earlobes indicating his ancestry, a ushnisha signifying wisdom, and 3 horizontal lines around the neck representing his resonant voice.
Shakyamuni Buddha is depicted with a saffron-colored robe, symbolizing his asceticism and mental clarity. The Thangka painting features a myriad of colors and beautiful motifs. The mudras of Shakyamuni Buddha signify profound messages; his right hand touching the ground expresses his enlightenment and his left hand resting in the lap symbolizes meditative repose. Customarily, the Buddha is shown atop a lotus base, a flower that symbolizes wisdom rising from an imperfect world.
