Two thousand years ago, Nagarjuna lived in India. The second part of the second century of the Christian period was the zenith of Nagarjuna. The Satavahana ruler Gautamiputra Yajnasri was friends with Nagarjuna at the time. He originated in Vidarbha from a prosperous brahmin family. The Middle Way School, often known as the Madhyamaka school of philosophy, was founded by Nagarjuna. Typically, Nagarjuna is shown as a monk wearing orange and crimson robes. The two hands are frequently clasped together as a teaching gesture. He stands out for two specific qualities. On the summit of the head is an ushnisha, which is the first. The second is a head-framing canopy or hood made of seven snakes. He explained sunyata's genuine meaning through a four-point examination. He holds that no phenomenon or individual has a real independent existence.
