Manjushri (‘Beautiful Glory’) is the Bodhisattva of Wisdom. He is the patron deity of the Newar Buddhists and is credited with the creation of the Kathmandu Valley. According to the local narrative, the Valley was originally a great lake, and Manjushri used his sword of wisdom to cut a cleft in the mountains that contained the lake. With the lake thus drained, he created Valley, making it habitable for all sentient beings. Manjushri is envisioned in at least fourteen iconographic forms per religious textual sources.
