Bronze statue of Buddha, the Deccan, India, 8th CE. The right hand of the statue is shown in the gesture of charity (varadamudra). The Buddha's robes are barely visible and his right shoulder is bare. Buddhism began to decline in India after the 5th century and the collapse of the Gupta Empire.
This image is evidence for the continued practice of Buddhism in southern India into the 8th century.
