A youthful and animated sculpture of Padmapani- the lotus-bearing aspect of Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, this copper statue unifies the iconographic attributes of Mongolian icons with Nepalese iconography. The plump face of Padmapani and his opened eyes are features of Mongolian sculptures, where deities are shown with a beautiful gaze as opposed to the meditative eyes of Nepalese icons.

Padmapani stands gracefully on a lotus pedestal, with his right hand in varada mudra, the gesture of giving boons, and a lotus in his left. His hair is tied in an upraised hairdo, held by a tiara and hair ornament with a meditating Buddha engraved on it. Padmapani wears floral earrings, a necklace, sacred thread, armlets, a brocaded dhoti with a vegetation motif (symbol of life), and a rich waistcloth with a waistbelt that sways, bringing a sense of movement to the icon. The steady yet gentle gaze of Padmapani and his divine body is beautified by the natural luster and texture of copper. Emanating an aesthetic beauty beyond words, the lotus bearer, the supremely compassionate Avalokiteshvara resides in this statue

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the statue hollow or solid ?

Panchaloha bronze statues are made through a process of lost wax casting, hence they are solid. To know more about how bronze statues are made, please read our article on Panchaloha Bronze Statues. Whereas, brass statues are made through a process of clay casting, hence are hollow.
