Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is often depicted with specific iconographic features. He is typically portrayed in a seated position, with his right hand touching the earth in the bhumisparsha mudra, symbolizing the moment of his enlightenment. The left hand rests in his lap in the dhyana mudra, representing meditation and inner peace. Shakyamuni's eyes are half-closed, reflecting a state of deep concentration and spiritual insight. He wears traditional monastic robes, signifying his renunciation of worldly possessions. The ushnisha, a cranial bump on his head, symbolizes his expanded wisdom.
