Fasting Lord BuddhaGandhar School,1st Century CE.
Austerities is part of achieving knowledge. It was one practice adopted by Prince Siddharth. Sitting in deep meditation, he did not eat till his body became skeletal.
The Greek knowledge of human anatomy is well proven here. The protruding rib cage, the sunken eyes, the depleted stomach all portray an emaciated body. It also proves the temporary status of the body. Only the soul is eternal.
