This Buddha statue exemplifies the style's hallmark features, such as the elegant drapery of the robes and the graceful posture, representing spiritual wisdom and tranquility.

Seated in the Bhumisparsha position, the Buddha's right hand touches the earth, symbolizing his moment of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, where he reached a profound understanding of life and suffering. This mudra signifies strength and stability, reflecting the Buddha’s connection to the earth and his commitment to sharing his teachings.
