The four-armed bodhisattva seated in dhyanasana on a double-lotus base, his primary hands folded in anjalimudrain front of his heart, clad in a dhoti incised with a foliate pattern and a shawl incised with a cloud pattern, adorned with multiple beaded necklaces, bracelets, earrings and tiara inlaid with hardstones, the hair piled into a high chignon.

Shadakshari Avalokiteshvara, the four-armed form of the bodhisattva of supreme compassion, is believed to be the embodiment of the Buddhist mantra om mani padme hum, (“hail to the jewel in the lotus”).

These six syllables represent the six realms of existence: Om is white and stands for the god realm, ma is green and stands for the demigod or Asura realm, ni is yellow and stands for the human realm, pad is blue and stands for the animal realms,me is red and stands for hungry ghost realm, hum is black and stands for the hell realm. Shadakshari ushers all beings from the six realms into enlightenment.
