Abstract
This paper broadly explores the analysis of Yakṣa in Buddhist art. In Buddhist art, images and symbols are performed in such a way that it conveys certain religious ideas of bhakti, and capable of representing the philosophy of Buddha and showing also interconnection with supernatural world through images, which at the same time gives a spiritual quality. The primary Buddhist symbols throughout all Buddhist countries are depending on biographical scenes preceding the Buddha Enlightenment and his entry into nirvana. In the early phase the image of the Yakṣa and Yakṣini was understand in a universal cosmological sense.. The development of religious thought gave an additional dimension of meaning to the images and symbols used in the scenes of the Buddha biography. Yakṣa and yakṣhi fill the early Buddhist monuments of Sānchi and Bharhūt and the former serve as prototype for the first iconic representation of the Buddha and associated with cosmological effect.
