Sakyamuni Buddhas’ first incarnation was as Gautama, born in 624 B.C. He is believed to have had 550 incarnations thereafter. He attained divine knowledge or “Bodhi” after six years of fasting and meditation.

In this figure he is seated in the Lotus position, which is best for deep meditation, on a double Lotus pedestal. The Lotus symbolizes purity, perfection and divine birth.

His hands are held in the mudra of meditation.

The auspicious swastika on the breast represents the Buddha’s heart, and is believed to contain within it the whole mind of Buddha.

The bulge on the top of the head and the bump at the third eye are believed to be a mark of enlightenment.
