Miracle Of Sankasya: Descent From Trayastrimsa Heaven

Description

Buddha's descent from the Tushita heaven is one of the eight great events (ashtamahapratiharya) of Buddha's life. The episode narrates the descent of Buddha from the heaven of the thirty three gods, where he had gone to preach his true law to his mother for three months. Buddha descended to Earth at Sankashya, accompanied by Indra and Brahma. In the iconic phase, Buddha's physical form is seen descending through the central ladder as Indra and Brahma follow him on either side.
