Description
Yaśodharā was the wife of Siddhārtha Gautama, later known as Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism.
At the age of 29, she gave birth to their only child, a boy named Rāhula. On the 7th night of his birth, the Prince, Siddhartha, left the palace. Yaśodharā was devastated and overcome with grief. Buddha left his home at night for enlightenment, without letting sleeping Yashodhara know about him. In the morning when she woke up she didn't see him. Hearing that her husband was leading a holy life, she emulated him by removing her jewellery, wearing a plain yellow robe and eating only one meal a day.
Although relatives sent her messages to say that they would maintain her, she did not take up those offers. Several princes sought her hand but she rejected the proposals. Throughout his six-year absence, Princess Yaśodharā followed the news of his actions closely.
She later became a Buddhist nun and is considered an arahatā.
** This painting is a reflection on the morning she woke and discovered he had left.
