I visited the premises in Boudha in person. Its not just next to the stupa like many shops but a little way away and easy to find with Googlemaps - just ask locals when you get there as they didn't have an obvious sign, at least when I visited. They have modern studios, workshops and a salesroom all in the same buildng. Bipin was very helpful and I examined several bhavacakra thankas before settling for a beautifully detailed one. The brocade was added in a day or two and the final thanka was delivered to my hotel very carefully and robustly packaged. I was very happy with the thankas I bought and very happy with the service, Definitely recommended!

Lokeshvara, appears as one of the hundred-and-eight different manifestations of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of great compassion, in the Newar Buddhist tradition. He is peaceful, youthful and ruby-red in colour with two eyes and two arms, and sits in the posture of royal-ease upon his golden lion vehicle.
Lokeshvara's lion crouches upon a white moon-disc and a lotus that is supported by leaves and buds. The stem of this lotus arises from the waves of a dark lake.Lokeshvara's fierce lion is adorned with a crowning jewel, anklets, a collar of little round bells, and a silk saddle-blanket. With his head turned back towards Lokeshvara the lion gazes forward.
Half of his long black hair is bound up into a jewel-crowned topknot, while the other half hangs freely about his shoulders and back.his left hand resting at the level of his hip he holds the stem of white lotus that blossoms at the level of his shoulder.
