Detailed explanation-1: -Siddhartha Gautama (better known as the Buddha, l. c. 563-c. 483 BCE) was, according to legend, a Hindu prince who renounced his position and wealth to seek enlightenment as a spiritual ascetic, attained his goal and, in preaching his path to others, founded Buddhism in India in the 6th-5th centuries BCE.
Detailed explanation-2: -His name was Siddhartha Gautama. He was born in present-day Lumbini, Nepal. The term Buddha means, “the enlightened one".
Detailed explanation-3: -Siddhartha became an ascetic, which means he lived a simple life with no possessions and refused to do anything that would give him pleasure. He also tried to be disciplined in meditating to try to understand suffering. He fasted for long periods of time and this caused him to suffer even more.
