His two principal hands are joined against his chest forming the Añjali and the other pair holds the rosary in the right hand and the lotus in the left.

The names of the 108 deities [viz., ²Ñ²¹á¹‡i±è²¹»å³¾²¹] possbily originate from a Tantra included in the Kagyur which is named “the 108 names of Avalokiteshvaraâ€�, however it is not yet certain that this is the source for the Nepali descriptions.
