Manjushri is seated on a lotus or moon disc throne in this iconography, symbolizing purity, spiritual elevation, and detachment from worldly illusions. He holds a flaming sword in his right hand, representing the penetrating power of wisdom that cuts through ignorance and delusion. His left hand performs the Vitarka Mudra, the gesture of teaching and intellectual discussion, delicately holding a lotus flower between his index finger and thumb. From this lotus rises the Prajnaparamita Sutra—the text symbolizing ultimate wisdom and enlightenment. Manjushri is adorned with ornate jewelry and wears a beautiful crown adorned with jewels, reflecting his noble and enlightened nature.
