Hello my fellow steemians,How are you all ?
It is to my great pleasure to share with you a picture of a very beautiful piece of art which I received as a gift from my Uncle who is a Painter,an fine arts scholar and my teacher.
It took him more than 3 weeks to complete this painting and to my greatest surprise he gifted it to me as a Token of love .
Who is Gautama Buddha ?
Gautama Buddha also known as Siddhartha Gautama ,Sakyamuni Buddha or simply Buddha was a ascetic and a saga on whose teachings Buddhism was founded.He is believed to have lived and taught mostly in the eastern part of ancient India sometime between 6 th and 4 th century.

Accounts of his life, discoveries and monastic rules are beleive by Buddhists to have been summarised after his death and memorised by his followers.Various collections of teachings attribued to him were passed down by oral tradition and first commited to writing about 400 years later.
