Seated in dhyanasana on the coils of Muchalinda, beneath the seven-headed canopy of the serpent king, wearing a short loincloth around his waist, adorned with elaborate jewelry, a crown surrounding his hair and surmounted by a conical ushnisha, his face with a serene expression, downcast eyes and hands held in his lap holding a stupa.

This iconic image of Siddartha Guatama's pursuit of enlightenment shows the scene when torrential rain threatened to drown him. The king of the nagas, Muchalinda, rose from the earth, coiling his body to form a seat swelling his great hood to shelter Buddha beneath his seven-headed canopy.
