Avalokiteshvara was a popular deity in Nepal, and as such, his image, especially in the form of Padmapani, was extremely prevalent from an early period. Iconographically and stylistically, images of Padmapani varied little over time, and was originally inspired by Indian prototypes from the Gupta period.

观音菩萨（Avalokiteshvara）在尼泊尔是一位广受尊崇的神祇，因此其造像，尤其是莲华手（Padmapani）这一化身形式，自早期起便极为盛行。在图像学与风格上，莲华手造像随时间推移变化甚微，其最初灵感源自笈多时期（Gupta period）的印度范本。
