Buddha beneath the Bodhi Tree (after Ajanta mural)

Inspired by the Ajanta murals depicting the Buddha seated beneath the Bodhi Tree, the sacred fig tree under which Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment. The Buddha’s hands form the Vitarka Mudra, symbolizing the teaching and transmission of the Dharma. The lotus seat represents spiritual purity, while the radiant halo signifies awakened wisdom, reflecting the serene aesthetic of the Ajanta mural tradition, Gupta–Vakataka period (5th–6th century CE), India.
