Specific Buddha Paintings Information

[theravada_guy]

Greetings all,

I have seen these depictions of the Buddha in several forms (paper cards, posters, etc.). They are my favorite depictions of the Buddha. Recently I saw a picture of a meditation hall that had the Buddha in different poses, all in this same fashion. I was just wondering if anyone can provide any information on what country they originated from or anything interesting? Here is a link to an example below. This particular one is, I believe, painted on a cloth for hanging. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Justin
Its Indian. You can see street-vendors selling religious posters of the Buddha and other Hindu, Sikh and Christian religious figures in cities and towns in India. They're all in the same Indian 'pop-art' style.
kind regards

Greetings,

I'm pretty sure Ben is right... the only other alternative could be Sri Lanka.

Thank you everybody for asking and answering the question. I've always wondered where this (and other like) paintings came from.

The image depicts the Buddha teaching the First Discourse (the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta) in the Deer Park at Saranath.
