Shakyamuni Buddha & Shariputra and Maudgalyayana Statue Set | 24K Gold Fire-Gilded Sculpture

This Shakyamuni Buddha and disciples statue set embodies the refined metalworking tradition of Nepal's master artisans. Each figure is cast in solid copper and richly fire-gilded in 24K gold, with delicately gold-painted faces that reflect serenity and awakened wisdom. Hand-set turquoise stones trace the halo, robe borders and ornaments, while engraved floral patterns and finely folded monastic robes show the depth and precision of true Nepalese craftsmanship.

At the center, Shakyamuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, sits in deep meditation upon a lotus throne, his right hand in the earth-touching mudra while his left hand cradles an alms bowl in his lap. Flanking him stand his two foremost disciples, Shariputra and Maudgalyayana, each on a lotus base holding a tall khakkhara staff topped with a bowl.

This statue set represents the living transmission of the Buddha's teachings, capturing the sacred bond between an enlightened teacher and the devoted disciples who carried his wisdom into the world. Shariputra is honored for his unmatched wisdom and Maudgalyayana is revered for his profound meditative power. Placed on a home altar or at Dharma center, this triad makes a lasting Dharma altar centerpiece, believed to invite blessings of discipline and spiritual protection for generations to come.

About Shakyamuni Buddha with Two Disciples

Shakyamuni Buddha, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is the historical founder of Buddhism and the embodiment of enlightened wisdom and compassion. In Tibetan and Himalayan Buddhist art, he is often depicted seated serenely on a lotus throne in meditation, holding a monk's alms bowl. When portrayed with his two foremost disciples, Shariputra and Maudgalyayana, the statue takes on deeper spiritual meaning, emphasizing the Buddha’s role as the supreme teacher guiding others toward liberation. Shariputra, standing to Shakyamuni’s right, is revered as the embodiment of supreme wisdom. Maudgalyayana, on his left, represents great miraculous powers and deep meditative insight.
