In this depiction, Chenrezig is seated in padmāsana (lotus posture) upon a lotus base, wearing a five-pointed crown representing the Five Dhyani Buddhas. His principal hands are held in añjali mudrā (gesture of prayer) at his heart, cradling the wish-fulfilling jewel (cintāmaṇi) that symbolizes the fulfillment of all virtuous aspirations. In his upper right hand, he holds a crystal rosary, signifying his ceaseless activity to liberate sentient beings, while his upper left hand bears a utpala (blue lotus), representing purity and compassion untouched by worldly defilements.

Chenrezig, known in Sanskrit as Avalokiteśvara, is the Bodhisattva of Infinite Compassion and one of the most beloved figures in Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna Buddhism. He embodies the boundless empathy of all Buddhas, vowing to remain in the world until every being is liberated from suffering. In Tibetan tradition, Chenrezig is regarded as the patron deity of Tibet and the spiritual source of the Dalai Lamas, who are considered his human emanations. He is often invoked through the sacred mantra Om Mani Padme Hum, which calls forth his compassionate blessings.
