The historical Buddha, depicted in a classic Thangka style that emphasizes his role as the supreme teacher. He is shown seated in the vajra posture upon a multi-colored lotus throne, his right hand performing the Bhumisparsha mudra (earth-touching gesture) to symbolize his enlightenment, while his left hand holds a dark alms bowl. He is draped in elegant purple and gold robes, framed by a vibrant green and gold halo that radiates from his serene expression.

The composition is richly populated with supporting figures and sacred symbols, including five smaller Buddhas seated in the clouds above, representing the Five Dhyani Buddhas or various aspects of enlightened mind. Below the main throne, two standing disciples flank a central Dharma Wheel, while stylized white lions—symbols of spiritual strength—appear within the throne’s structure. The entire scene is set against a detailed landscape of rolling hills, clouds, and floral offerings, creating a comprehensive visual narrative of the Buddhist path.
