This thangka beautifully portrays Shakyamuni Buddha seated on moon disc upon a lotus seat under the Bodhi tree, symbolizing the moment of his enlightenment. His right hand is in Bhumisparsha Mudra (Earth-touching gesture), calling the earth to witness his victory over Mara, the demon of illusion, and representing unwavering determination, fearlessness, and the transformation of suffering into wisdom. His left-hand rests in his lap in Dhyana Mudra (meditation gesture), symbolizing inner peace and concentration.

Shakyamuni Buddha is adorned in traditional monastic robes (kāṣāya) in rich saffron and red hues, which represent renunciation, humility, and detachment from worldly life. The robe is draped over one shoulder, leaving the right shoulder bare—a common depiction in Buddhist iconography.

The offerings, including the alms bowl, jewels, flowers, and a vase, are set on a decorated table in front of Buddha, the table serves as a sacred platform for offerings, symbolizing devotion, purity, and prosperity.

To the left of the Buddha, a monk disciple, possibly Sariputra, stands with a humble posture, dressed in monastic robes, symbolizing wisdom and devotion to the Dharma.

To the right, a lay devotee, possibly a noble donor or a celestial being, kneels while making offerings, demonstrating reverence and faith.

The background is filled with a serene natural landscape, featuring rivers, hills, and a blossoming Bodhi tree, reinforcing the theme of enlightenment and harmony with nature. The peaceful setting reflects the Buddha’s teachings on inner peace, mindfulness, and liberation.

This thangka is a powerful representation of Shakyamuni Buddha’s enlightenment, the path of Dharma, and the deep reverence of his followers.
