Budha Statue

The Buddha statue is an assimilation of the Hellenistic culture of the Greeks. At first, in Buddhism there was no intention to erect a statue. But after the Greeks entered India with Hellenistic culture, they began to form the image of Buddha in the form of a statue. Due to the opening of the Silk Road, the religion and image of Buddha statues began to spread to the countries it passed (including Southeast Asia and China).
