Description
Here Lord Gautam Buddha is shown sitting in Abhaya mudra. He is wearing just one cloth. His hair is finely crafted with the Lord blessing with his one hand and holding the bowl in his another hand. He is the paradigm of truth and non-violence. The Lord is in Abhayamudra, which is the gesture of reassurance and safety. It is a hand pose that dispels fear and accords divine protection and bliss to the devotees. In this mudra, the Lord is holding his right hand upright, and the palm is facing outwards. This is one of the earliest Mudra found depicted on a number of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jaina images.

Description
The antiquated earth touching Buddha statue is nicely designed with a high degree of finesse. A mudra in Buddha statues is a gesture and body posture holding special meanings and commemorating few of the important moments in the Buddha's life. One of the most common mudras which are found depicted in Buddha statues is the Bhumisparsha mudra (the earth touching gesture). In Bhumisparsha mudra, the Buddha is seen seated with his right hand as a pendant over the right knee reaching toward the ground with the palm inward while touching the lotus throne. The left hand can be seen with the palm upright in his lap. This gesture represents the moment of the Buddha's awakening as he claims the earth as the witness of his enlightenment. Just before he realized enlightenment, it is believed that the demon Mara tried to frighten him with demons and monsters including his daughters who tried to tempt him to get out of meditation under the Bodhi tree. While the demon king Mara claimed the throne of enlightenment for himself, his demon army claimed to be the witness for Mara's enlightenment. Mara then challenged Siddhartha about the witness. Then the former prince reached out his right hand to touch the earth as it is believed that the earth itself roared "I bear you the witness!" Hearing the roar from the earth herself, the demon king disappeared. The following morning saw the first appearance of the one who is awakened, the Buddha. Hence, it is believed that the Bhumisparsha mudra, or "the earth witness" mudra commemorates the Buddha's victory over the temptation by the demon King Mara.

Description
The beautiful image of Vajradhara is being carved in Tibetan style of Buddhist statues. Such statues are made in Nepal and are available in three different attitudes. Each posture has a different meaning. The face of the figure is smooth with gold paint giving it a unique, matte appearance, and allowing for extra detail. The beautiful image of Lord Gautam Buddha is being nicely carved out with some spectacular carvings on it. The figure reveals greater sense of gracefulness.
Vajradhara is the primordial Buddha, (the dharmakaya Buddha). Vajradhara expresses the quintessence of Buddhahood itself. It represents the essence of the historical Buddha's realization of enlightenment.
The Vajradhara Buddha is the source of all the manifestations of enlightenment. Vajradhara is central to the Kagyu lineage because Tilopa received the vajrayana teachings directly from vajradhara, the dharmakaya buddha. Thus, the Kagyu lineage originated from the very nature of Buddhahood. The beautiful figure is shown in meditative posture on a lotus.
