Manjushree – Bodhisattva of Wisdom
Manjushree is the Bodhisattva of Wisdom in Mahayana Buddhism, symbolizing clarity of mind, knowledge, and insight. He is often depicted wielding a flaming sword that cuts through ignorance and holding a lotus with the Prajnaparamita Sutra, representing the perfection of wisdom. Deeply revered in Nepalese culture, Manjushree is also believed to have drained the Kathmandu Valley, making it habitable for human civilization.
