The Legend of Buddha – The Enlightened One
Prince Siddhartha Gautama, born into a royal family in ancient India, lived a sheltered life until he encountered the realities of old age, sickness, and death. Deeply moved, he renounced worldly pleasures and embarked on a quest to understand the nature of suffering and the path to liberation. After years of rigorous ascetic practices and meditation, Siddhartha sat beneath the Bodhi tree in deep contemplation. There, he attained enlightenment, becoming the Buddha—the awakened one.
The Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths, explaining the causes of suffering and the way to overcome it through the Eightfold Path. His teachings emphasize compassion, mindfulness, and the middle way—avoiding extremes of indulgence and asceticism. The serene posture captured in this golu doll represents his meditative wisdom, inviting all devotees to seek inner peace and liberation.
