Buddha reclining. The state entered after death by someone who has attained nirvana during their lifetime. It implies a release from Saṃsāra, karma and rebirth as well as the dissolution of the skandhas.
It is also known as Nirvana Day, a Buddhist holiday that commemorates Buddha's death and his attainment of parinirvana.
