Great Miracle

Great Miracle. Peshawar Museum, Pakistan.

Witness the Great Miracle! This sculpture captures the awe-inspiring moment when the nāga kings rise from the earth to present a magnificent thousand-petaled lotus as a seat for the Buddha. Seated upon this miraculous lotus, the Buddha performs the teaching gesture, surrounded by an assembly of Bodhisattvas and emanations. Recent conservation work has revealed the sculpture's original vibrant colors, bringing this extraordinary scene to life.
