A Shakyamuni Buddha thangka is a Tibetan Buddhist painting that depicts Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha and the founder of Buddhism. Shakyamuni, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is revered for his teachings and enlightenment, which form the foundation of Buddhist practice.
In the thangka, Shakyamuni Buddha is usually shown in a meditative posture, often seated in the lotus position on a lotus throne. His body is typically depicted in serene colors, such as golden or light brown, symbolizing his enlightened nature and the wisdom he embodies.
