Enlightened appearance of Lord Buddha: Tikuli art by Ashok Kumar

The artwork by Ashok Kumar depicts Lord Buddha with a serene expresssion, representing the moment of his enlightenment when he gained profound insight into the nature of reality and suffering. Lord Buddha’s teachings revolve around wisdom, compassion, and understanding, incorporating his image in the trikuli round art serves as a reminder of these profound teachings and encourage viewers to seek deeper insights and understanding. The lotus leaf border symbolizes a special connection between Buddha’s life events and the flower as lotus flowers bloomed wherever he stepped, in a similar manner they flourished around him when he attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree.
