The brass figure of Lord Buddha reminds us about the early life of Buddha. Lord Buddha was known as Siddhartha before he got Enlightenment. It was the result of severe penance, meditation and deep introspection that Prince Siddhartha became Lord Buddha as the world knows him today. It was the sorrows, agonies and sufferings of human life that made Prince Siddhartha sad and hugely upset. He gave up the lap of royal luxury and ventured into a journey of severe penance. The result of this process of introspection was his Enlightenment and Siddhartha became Buddha.

DESCRIPTION:
"You have done so by your own seeking in your own way,through thought, through meditation, through knowledge, through enlightenment. You have learned nothing through teachings, and so I think, O Illustrious One, that nobody finds salvation through teachings. To nobody, O Illustrious One, can you communicate in words and teachings, what happened to you in the hour of your enlightenment. The teachings of the enlightened Buddha embrace much, they teach much—how to live righteously, how to avoid evil. But there is one thing that this clear, worthy instruction does not contain; it does not contain the secret of what the Illustrious One himself experienced—he alone among hundreds of thousands.".
