This paubha depicts a central form of Avalokiteshvara with eleven heads and one thousand arms, red in color, with a variety of hand attributes including a small stupa grasped in the frontmost pair of hands. It may be an important deity specific to Nepal, who in the polyvalent religious environment of the Kathmandu Valley bears a threefold identity as Bunga Lokeshvara–the rain god Bunga Dya and the Buddhist bodhisattva Arya Avalokiteshvara, and the Hindu Rato Macchendranath, from the Nath tradition. In more general terms, the central figure is Red Lokeshvara, though his iconography is unusual. In this paubha, as it is called in Nepal, he is shown within an elaborate temple arch, with devotees worshipping on either side. Outside of this structure, the image is divided into horizontal registers. The registers alternate in color and in each of them is depicted various scenes connected with the deity. At the bottom, lay devotees are depicted worshipping the deity.
Although there is no donor inscription, these figures usually include the donor or patron who commissioned the paubha or ritual, depending on the subject matter. The color palette and style of the figures is characteristic of paubhas from Nepal from, with a strong emphasis on red and strictly alternating registers.
