Iconography: A Visual Dharma Teaching

Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, embodies the brilliance that dispels ignorance.

• Sacred Form:
   His golden‑orange body shines within a red aura that transforms mental darkness into clarity.

• Posture:
  Seated on a lotus throne of compassion, poised between deep peace and active insight.

• Mudras & Attributes:
   In his right hand, the flaming sword of prajna cuts through delusion; in his left, the lotus‑held Prajnaparamita book reveals everlasting truth.

• Adornment:
   A crown of jewels and trailing silks signify royal spiritual attainment.

The Living Landscape of the Mind

Rendered in the Marthang style, Manjushri appears amid floral emblems and gold clouds that rise from a world of radiant emptiness.
 Lotuses symbolise purity beyond illusion; the glowing red ground reflects the transformative fire of wisdom in action.

Created by a Newari master artist steeped in ancestral geometry and mantric practice. Each brushstroke is a breath of prayer, every line a path toward clarity.
