Description   Here the Buddha is depicted in meditation pose sheltered by a Naga, its body coiled up to serve as a cushion for the Buddha and its 7 pronged head spreading over the Buddhaís head as a cover. The Naga is a snake like animal of Hindu lore. According to legend, the Naga once tried to harm the Buddha, but was subdued and became one of the Buddhaís disciples and guardians. Gautama Buddha was born in 563 B.C. in northeast India. The Buddha was the son of the King of the Sakyas. Suddhodana, who ruled at Kapilavastu, on the border of Nepal. His mother was Queen Maya. He was named Siddhartha. He lived amidst the pleasures of palace life and at age 16 he was married to Princess Yasodhara. They had a son named Rahula. After seeing a decrepit old man, an invalid, and an ascetic beggar, he learned of suffering and decided to embrace asceticism. Soon afterward, at age 29, Siddhartha left the palace and his family and went to a hermitage where he became the monk Gautama, or, as he is still called, Sakyamuni (The ascetic of the Sakyas). One day, meditating under a sacred fig tree, he attained perfect illumination (Bodhi). He had become a Buddha. From there on he traveled and preached for 44 years what was to become one of the main religions of the world. He died at Kusinagara at age 80.   Related Products...
