This picture is a very different Buda. From what I’ve seen. Beautiful Buda.
Thanks for sharing @Saramshkhadka !
I agree with @360mkt , this Buddha statue is very different from what I usually seem. He seems almost womanlike in this depiction, and a lot thinner than the more famous sculptures.
Do you know if there’s a reason for the statue to have been made this way?
