Lokeshwor Mandala

In Sanskrit, Lokeshwor means the Lord who overlooks the entire realm. He is a Bodhisattva who symbolizes the understanding of all the Buddhas. He is the embodiment of Avalokiteshwor. In traditional depictions his four right hands carry the vajra, the sword, the goad, and the bow, as the four left to bear the ghanta (bell), the Tridandi (3 forked weapon), the noose and an arrow.
