Inner Asia: The Art of Nepal II: Newar Buddhist Art
Swayambhu Mahacaitya as seen from the east looking at the shrines of
Aksobhya, (large shrine at the far right) and Vairocana (the smaller shrine
immediately adjacent to Aksobhya's). Just barely visible in the shadow
of the temple cast on the caitya is Locana's shrine, and seen in profile
to the far left, is Ratnasambhava's shrine. To the right of Aksobhya's shrine
(actually directly to the east of it) is a Dharmadhatu Vagisvara Manjughosa
mandala surmounted by a huge metal vajra.
