All Dalai Lamas are believed to be manifestations of this deity. Lokeshvara is seated cross-legged on a beautifully decorated lotus pedestal. He is in dharmachakra mudra or teaching gesture. In a princely manner, he wears a crown bedecked with five jewels symbolizing the five Buddhas. He has long hair piled high on his head while the rest flows down to his shoulders. He is adorned with different ornaments including necklaces, earrings, a diadem and so forth. The arch is decorated with conch shells; a symbol of the proclamation of the Buddha's teachings. The conch symbolizes the truth of the Dharma. The artist has placed the whole in beautiful colorful background which adds profundity to the message of the sculpture.
