 The first representations of the Buddha in the 1st century CE in the Greco-Buddhist art of Gandhara also represent him with a topknot, rather than just a cranial knob.It is thought that the interpretation of the ushnisha as a supernatural cranial protuberance happened at a later date, as the representation of the topknot became more symbolic and its original meaning was lost.We have witnessed Ushnisha being an important feature of any Buddha statues and images, but there is no actual evidences which can give us a clear picture of whether Buddha had the top knot over his head.
