Shakyamuni Buddha with Disciples Thangka
This exquisite hand-painted thangka depicts Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha, seated in serene meditation upon a lotus throne. His right hand touches the earth in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, symbolizing the moment of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. The Buddha is flanked by his two foremost disciples, Shariputra and Maudgalyayana, each holding a monk’s staff and alms bowl—representing wisdom and spiritual accomplishment.
Rich in detail and color, this thangka features intricate floral patterns, delicate gold accents, and a harmonious landscape of mountains and clouds that evoke the pure realms. Every brushstroke reflects the precision and devotion of traditional Himalayan artistry.
