Lokeshwor, known in Sanskrit as Avalokiteshvara and in Japanese as Kannon, is a bodhisattva embodying compassion. In Japanese Buddhist art, Lokeshvara's iconography is rich, symbolic, and often shares features with depictions from other parts of East Asia, especially Nepal, China, and Java. The attributes and symbolism remain consistent with broader Mahayana Buddhist traditions, emphasizing the bodhisattva’s role as a universal savior and compassionate protector.
