This fresco is presented at Sarnath, India. It depicts the picture of Suchada giving the rice to emaciated Prince Siddhartha Guatama before his enlightenment as the Bhudda. The fresco uses light colors, instead of the dark ones to portray the enlightenment and wisdom that are going to happen. The fresco focus on both Prince Siddhartha and the humble Suchada who is faithful and kind-hearted. In addition, the emanciated Siddharta is revealed to acquire light radiance around his head, which signals his upcoming realization that will be stimulated by the offering of this lady. This event is very significant in Bhuddhism, since it triggers the realization of Bhudda as everything will be successful and achieved only if the middle way is chosen. As a result, Prince Siddhartha stopped his fasting and meditated without tormenting himself. The fresco does not only become a historical memento, but also as a didactic artwork in order to remind the audience that instead of being to intense or lackadaisical, we should keep ourselves in balance and do our best. Similar to our commendable Bhudda, the middle way and consciousness from meditation are essential in order to live a meaningful and serene life.
