Gautama Buddha

Gautama Buddha was the founder of Buddhism, who lived in northern India around the fifth century BCE. Accounts of the Seleucid Empire note that Greek kingdoms in the east produced Gandharan art, in which Greek sculptural iconography was adapted to represent the Buddha and bodhisattvas.
