Dhaneswar Khera Buddha image inscription, Buddhist inscription at stone pedestal in Banda district, India.
The bronze Buddha statue stands on a pedestal containing Sanskrit text, featuring traditional gestures and wearing a monastic robe covering both shoulders.
The inscription records the dedication of a bronze Buddha statue by Mahadevi, wife of Hariraja from the Gupta lineage, during the 5th century CE.
The statue displays the Dharma Chakra Mudra position, with hands held against the chest symbolizing the union of method and wisdom in Buddhist teachings.
The archaeological site sits at 124 meters above sea level, located near Icchawar village in the Jaspura Tahsil region of Banda District.
Three identical bronze Buddha statues discovered at this location now reside in museums across London, Bangkok, and Kansas City.
