Dipak Banerjee's composition illustrates the divine figure of Buddha in Bhumisparsha mudra, where his left hand touches the ground, inviting the god and celestial beings to witness his state of becoming an enlightened being free from the cycle of birth and death. Surrounded by six symbolic squares, the application of acrylic on canvas produces brightness with a shimmering quality commonly associated with celestial entities, elevating the piece's religious aura. Each piece in this artwork is precisely constructed, demonstrating Banerjee's profound regard for neo-tantric iconography.
