This exquisite wooden relief illustrates one of the most celebrated moments from the Buddha’s life: his return from the celestial realm to the earth, known in Nepal as Lumbini Jatra.
After teaching his mother Maya Devi in the Heaven of the Thirty-Three Gods (Trayastrimsha), the Buddha descends to earth along a triple staircase made of gold, silver, and crystal — a symbol of the bridge between divine wisdom and human compassion.

Around him gather a host of Hindu and Buddhist deities, reflecting the deep spiritual harmony of the Kathmandu Valley, where the two traditions have coexisted for centuries.
The gods Indra, king of the heavens, and Brahma, the creator, accompany the Buddha’s descent, offering flowers and celestial music. Their presence signifies the recognition of the Enlightened One by the Hindu pantheon — a testimony to the mutual reverence that unites Nepalese Hinduism and Buddhism.
