Vaisravana, also known as Bishamonten or Bishamon, is one of the Four Heavenly Kings in East Asian Buddhism and Hinduism. Depicted as a powerful deity with multiple arms holding various objects, the guardian of the north and the god of wealth. His statues, like the one at Wong Tai Sin Temple in Hong Kong, are often intricately crafted from wood, metal, and gold leaf, adorned with crystals and precious stones. These magnificent works of art, such as the 11th-century Bishamon statue and the polychromed wood with crystal and metal Bishamonten, showcase the rich cultural heritage and artistic mastery of ancient civilizations. The iconic image with his ministering demon is also a popular motif in art, reflecting the deity's role as a protector and provider. Whether in Hindu or Buddhist traditions, Vaisravana continues to captivate and inspire awe with his regal presence and enduring symbolism.
