“The Home They Carried” portrays the deeply emotional moment when Yashodhara and young Rahul reunite with Gautama Buddha after his renunciation. The painting’s warm, shadowed tones reflect both distance and longing, while the gentle posture of the mother and child evokes love held in silence. Buddha’s serene presence contrasts their worldly pain, yet a quiet connection flows between them—beyond roles, beyond words. This artwork honors the sacred thread of family that endures even as one walks the path of liberation.
