Southwestern Asian Buddha statues in a sitting position refer to statues depicting the Buddha in a seated meditative pose. These statues are commonly found in various countries of Southwestern Asia, including India, Nepal, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of Central Asia.

The Buddha statues in Southwestern Asia are often depicted in a seated position, known as the lotus or meditation pose. In this pose, the legs are crossed, with the feet resting on opposite thighs, symbolizing stability and groundedness. The hands are usually placed in a specific mudra (hand gesture), which varies depending on the particular Buddhist tradition or iconography.
