Siddhartha Gautama, popularly referred to as Shakyamuni Buddha, is considered the ultimate in enlightenment and spiritual awakening. Buddha appears in a calm position, expressing wisdom and serenity. His left hand is close to his chest, holding a pot that symbolizes the offering of nutrition, while his right hand is in the Abhaya Mudra, signifying courage and protection. This statue captures the calmness of his demeanor, which is generally shown smiling softly and in a meditative posture, symbolizing inner harmony and calm. The urna, the elongated earlobes that symbolize experiential wisdom, and an insignificant tuft of hair on the top of his head that symbolizes spiritual insight are important iconographic features. The Awakening Buddha reminds us of the path to enlightenment and the lessons of mindfulness, compassion, and pursuing the truth.

Siddhartha Gautama was born as the crown prince of the mighty Shakya Kingdom and nurtured to be a king in line with his royal father's aspirations. However, when he was around 29 years old, he learned about people's tremendous pain. He abandoned his palace life and gave up his magnificent robes and gold to uncover the reasons for this anguish and the methods to alleviate it. After nearly six years of study, self-deprivation, and severe concentration, he achieved his aim. He had attained enlightenment (a Buddha). He claimed to have then proceeded to a deer park in Sarnath (Benares), India, on the outskirts of Varanasi.
