The Placid Gautama Buddha Idol | Gambhar Wood Sculpture from Bodh Gaya

Description

Description: It is at Bodh Gaya that the erstwhile Shakyamuni attained Buddhahood. For years together He remained seated under the Bodhi tree, steeped in seedless contemplation or samadhi of the highest order. There he had arrived after decades of asceticism and mendicancy and austerities, a life diametrically opposite to the one His father the King Suddhodana had given Him. There is no place like Bodh Gaya, and it is from there that the medium of this sculpture has been sourced. Gambhar wood is an especially smooth medium and has a flaxen appearance. It is a great medium to carve the placid Buddha out of. The sculpture that you see on this page depicts the contemplative (dhyani) Buddha, a theme loved by devotional artisans in the subcontinent.
