I took these pictures in 1989 while on a semester abroad. These were taken in either Northern India or Nepal---I cannot recall exactly where. The figure is of Manjushri, The Bodhisattva of compassion.

Praise of Manjushri Manjushri — is the manifestation of wisdom of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, who helps to eliminate ignorance, understand truth and increase wisdom. Eternal Auspiciousness — by Khenpo Karsang
