The deity All-Seeing One is the Buddha who took a vow to liberate all the sentient beings from suffering until the end of samsara. This bodhisattva, in radiant white color, is depicted with one face and four arms. He gestures his front pair of hands in Varada (generosity) and Dhyana mudra and holds a mirror in the right upraised hand and a vase of holy water that eliminates diseases in his left, and standing on a moon disc of a color-petaled lotus base. The All-Seeing One, standing in front of a blue halo, embellished with orange and golden threads and enclosed with colors of rainbow, wears a robe, painted elaborately, and adornments made of gold.
