Gautama Buddha was an Indian prince born in modern day Nepal. The first images of the Buddha were created almost simultaneously in Mathura, India, and the Greco-Buddhist kingdom of Gandhara (modern day Pakistan and Afghanistan). From there, images fo the Buddha spread out along trade routes into East and Southeast Asia.
