Manjushri is seated on a single lotus throne holding a flaming sword (Sanskrit: Chandrahasa). He is very handsome and young, befitting his title, Manjushri Kumarabhuta, Manjushri "in the form of a youth". He is richly decorated with six fold ornaments symbolizing his perfection of the six paramitas.

In Mahayana Buddhist tradition he is regarded as having supreme wisdom among bodhisattvas. He is also called prince of the Dharma because of his eloquent wisdom.

According to the text of the Swayambhu purana, he is said to have cut the gorge of Chobhar hill with his flaming sword Chandrahasa and let the waters flow out and thereby opened the valley for human habitation to allow for the propagation of the Buddha dharma.
