Orissa, India: Today's images are about different gestures of Buddha statues in the Dhaulagiri Buddha temple. In the first image his right hand touches the earth and is called "Bhumisparsha", while his left hand is in "Dhyana" meditation gesture, together this pose symbolises "Sanyama" self-control over the negative feelings. The raised hand in the second image is called "Abhaya" and signifies freedom from fear. The third statue shows him with inter-linked circles made from thumbs and index fingers of two hands, explaining the circles of dharma and is called "Dharmachakra".

ओडिशा, भारतः धौलागिरि के बुद्ध मन्दिर में भगवान बुद्ध को विभिन्न मुद्राओं में दिखाया गया है जिनकी कुछ तस्वीरें प्रस्तुत हैं. पहली तस्वीर में उनका दाँया हाथ धरती को स्पर्श करता है जिससे इसे भूमिस्पर्श मुद्रा कहते हैं, जबकि बाँया हाथ ध्यान मुद्रा में है, यह मूर्ति सँयम यानि नकरात्मक भावनाओं पर विजय का चित्रण है. दूसरी मूर्ति का उठा हुआ हाथ अभय मुद्रा यानि भय से मुक्ति दिखाता है. तीसरी तस्वीर में दोनों हाथों में अँगूठे व तर्जनी को जोड़ कर चक्र बने हैं और भगवान बुद्ध धर्मचक्र का सिद्धांत सिखा रहे हैं, इसे धर्मचक्र मुद्रा कहते हैं.

Orissa, India: Le immagini di oggi riguardano il significato dei gesti di Buddha nel tempio di Dhaulagiri. Nella prima immagine, la sua mano destra tocca la terra e si chiama "bhumisparsha", mentre la sua mano sinistra è in "dhayana" (meditazione) e insieme questa posizione simboleggia "sanyama" (autocontrollo sugli aspetti negativi). La mano alzata della seconda immagine si chiama "abhaya" e significa libertà dalla paura. Nell'ultima immagine, le sue mani creano due cerchi inter-connessi creati dalla congiunzione dei pollici e delle dita indice mentre lui spiega il concetto di "cerchi del dharma" e si chiama "dharmachakra".
