This Simhanada Lokeshvara Thangka Print is a high-quality reproduction of an original painting by Sundar Sinkhwal, a highly respected traditional artist from Patan, Nepal. Trained in the centuries-old Newar Paubha painting tradition, Sundar's work reflects a deep understanding of Buddhist iconography, symbolism, and spiritual devotion.

Simhanada Lokeshvara is a fierce and majestic form of Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig), the Bodhisattva of Compassion. In this form, he is often depicted seated on a lion throne, symbolizing the fearless proclamation of the Dharma - the "Lion's Roar" of truth that dispels ignorance and suffering. He holds various attributes representing purity, healing, and the compassionate power to relieve beings of physical and spiritual ailments. In some traditions, Simhanada Lokeshvara is also revered as a protector against diseases and negative forces, embodying both compassion and power.

Simhanada Lokeshvara represents the fusion of compassion and strength - the ability to act with kindness while remaining unshaken in truth. Meditating on this form of Avalokiteshvara helps cultivate fearlessness, healing energy, and unwavering compassion. His lion mount symbolizes the triumph of wisdom over ignorance, reminding practitioners to live with courage and clarity.
