EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Bodhisattva Simhanada Lokeshvara, a remarkable sculpture from the Pala period in the 11th century. Created by an unknown artist, this artwork is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Asia and its deep connection with Buddhism. The image captures a close-up view of this seated deity made from basalt stone. The intricate decorative details and vibrant colors bring life to the sculpture, emphasizing its religious significance. Positioned on top of what appears to be a pedestal, Bodhisattva Simhanada Lokeshvara exudes an aura of serenity and wisdom. As one gazes upon this masterpiece, it becomes evident that it represents Avalokiteshvara or Guanyin - revered figures in Buddhist tradition known for their compassion towards all beings. This particular portrayal showcases Simhanada Lokeshvara's association with tantric Buddhism. The photograph was taken at the Art Institute Chicago's art gallery where it is displayed as part of their Arts of Asia collection. It serves as a reminder of India's cultural heritage during the Pala Empire era when Bihar was considered its artistic hub. This print not only preserves an invaluable piece of history but also invites viewers into a world where religion and art intertwine harmoniously. Its presence evokes contemplation and reverence for centuries-old traditions that continue to inspire people today.
