This is one of the finest painting. Thangka comes in a role. This is original hand painted Buddhist art, Thangka of Manjushree. The Thangka is painted with a gold color in canvas by Buddhist Lama. Manjushri is a Bodhisattva who is considered as a " GOD OF DIVINE WISDOM". It is believed that worshiping Manjusri bring wisdom and intelligence. In Tibetan Buddhism, Manjusri manifests in a number of different Tantric forms. According to Swayambhu Purana, the Kathmandu Valley was once a lake. It is believed that Manjusri saw a lotus flower in the center of the lake and cut a gorge at Chovar to allow the lake to drain. The place where the lotus flower settled became Swayambhunath Stupa and the valley thus became habitable.
