Rajrajeshwar Temple
Fasting Buddha Shakyamuni
Pakistan (ancient region of Gandhara), 3rd–5th century (Kushan period); 28cm high (11in)
After reaching enlightenment at Bodhgaya, Shakyamuni meditated and fasted for forty-nine days. Thus, showing him as an emaciated renouncer relates to his enlightenment and his status as a yogic ascetic who has ultimate control over his body. Other characteristics that relate to his enlightenment include the kusha grass on which he sits and the scene on the base, which shows the Buddha’s first sermon, at Sarnath.
