Buddha Figure 

A Buddha figure is a statue or sculpture of Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism and the historical Buddha. Buddha figures come in a variety of sizes, styles, and materials, and are widely used as objects of worship, meditation, and inspiration by Buddhists around the world.

Buddha figures typically depict the Buddha in a seated or standing position, with his hands in various symbolic gestures known as mudras. The most common mudra is the dhyana mudra, which represents meditation and is depicted with the hands resting on the lap, palms facing up, and thumbs touching.

Buddha figures are often made of stone, wood, or metal, and may be painted or adorned with decorative elements such as gold leaf or precious stones. They are often placed in shrines or temples, and may also be used in home altars or as decorative objects in homes and gardens.

The symbolism of the Buddha figure varies depending on the specific pose, mudra, and other features of the statue. For example, a seated Buddha with the right hand raised and the left hand resting on the lap symbolizes teaching and protection, while a standing Buddha with the right hand raised in a gesture of fearlessness represents overcoming fear and obstacles.

Buddha figures are revered by Buddhists as a reminder of the teachings of the Buddha and as a source of inspiration and guidance on the path to enlightenment. They are also admired by many for their aesthetic beauty and cultural significance.
