Drawing from a 12th-century Tibetan model, Purna Hyoju presents a refined Maravijaya through the Newar paubhā tradition. Śākyamuni sits in bhūmisparśa mudrā, embodying stillness and grounded awareness at the moment of enlightenment.
The composition is distilled and meditative, shifting away from narrative detail toward structural clarity. Symbolic guardians such as Siṁha and Ajarāmaraṇa at the throne emphasize fearlessness and transcendence, reinforcing the Buddha’s victory as an inner realization.
Born in 1962, Purnna Hyoju is a dedicated practitioner of traditional art, trained in Paubha painting. With decades of experience and participation in numerous exhibitions, his work reflects a deep command of traditional techniques across Nepali, Tibetan, Japanese, and Maithili styles.
