Who is Shakyamuni Buddha?
Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Gautama Buddha, is the historical founder of Buddhism and a symbol of supreme awakening and enlightened awareness. Born in Lumbini, Nepal around 563 BCE, he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree and spent his life sharing insights that address the root causes of human suffering.
Through teachings rooted in compassion, mindfulness, and detachment, Shakyamuni emphasized liberation from desire, ego, and material attachments. His serene presence and wisdom continue to inspire seekers of inner peace across generations and cultures.
Finishing: Stone Setting
This statue is beautifully adorned with semi-precious stones such as turquoise, coral, and lapis lazuli. Each stone is handpicked for its vibrancy and spiritual symbolism, then securely set by expert artisans. The rich contrast between the golden finish and colorful stones enhances the statue’s visual depth, creating a radiant, meditative presence for your altar or sacred space.
Gold Painted Face – Spiritual Vitality
The face of Shakyamuni Buddha is delicately painted with pure gold, accentuating the eyes and lips to convey a look of deep compassion and serenity. This traditional practice is more than aesthetic—it’s a ritualistic step in preparing the statue for blessings and sacred offerings, infusing it with spiritual vitality and presence.
Full Fire Gold Plating – Traditional Nepali Gilding
Using the fire gold plating technique (also known as mercury gilding), this statue is enveloped in a thick, lustrous layer of real gold. This authentic Nepali method, though labor-intensive and costlier than electroplating, offers a timeless richness, longevity, and sacred aura unmatched by modern alternatives. The warm golden glow enhances the divine qualities of the Shakyamuni figure.
Crafted with the Lost-Wax Method
Made through the ancient lost-wax casting process, this statue embodies centuries of traditional artistry. Skilled sculptors begin with a wax model that captures every intricate detail, which is then cast in copper to produce a highly detailed and durable masterpiece. This time-honored method ensures that the essence of devotion and craftsmanship is preserved in each creation.
