A mesmerizing presentation of Simhanada Lokeshvara, an aspect of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara in which he is sitting on a roaring lion, represents his swift benevolence. The black stone statue of Lokeshvara from Nepal depicts the lion of Lokeshvara on an upturned lotus, gazing at his rider, who is seated in the Maharajalilasana posture. Lokeshvara has a third eye on his forehead, underlining his proximity to Shiva in the Newari culture. In his hands is a Vajra with the serpent and a blooming lotus, and on his face is divine tranquility.
