seated Buddha
Lotus position figure
A seated Buddha is a depiction of the Buddha in a sitting position, typically cross-legged in meditation.
This is the most common pose in Buddhist sculpture and art, representing enlightenment and inner peace.
The posture usually shows the Buddha on a lotus throne with hands in specific symbolic positions called mudras—touching the earth, resting in the lap, or raised in blessing.
