Buddha’s left hand is in the dhyana mudra and supports a blue alms-bowl that is filled with the nectar of immortal wisdom. His right hand is in bhumisparsa mudra or ‘earth-touching gesture’, to summon the earth to bear witness to his enlightenment after he overcame the attack of Mara (delusion) under the bodhi tree.
