Bhumisparsha is a key gesture, or mudra, in Buddhist iconography where the Buddha touches the earth with his right hand while sitting in meditation. This gesture symbolizes the Buddha's enlightenment and his call to the earth as a witness to his attainment of nirvana. It represents the moment when Siddhartha Gautama, on the verge of enlightenment, calls upon the earth to testify for him against the demon Mara, affirming his right to attain awakening.
