Basundhara Devi Thangka Introduction To The Thangka : Vasundhara, or Vasudhara, is the Buddhist bodhisattva of riches, prosperity, and abundance. Her name means "stream of gems" in Sanskrit. She is well-known in many Buddhist nations and is depicted in Buddhist tales and art. Her reputation has expanded to southern Buddhist nations despite her origins as an Indian bodhisattva. Her popularity, however, peaks in Nepal, where she has a large following among Kathmandu Valley Buddhist Newars and is, therefore, a key figure in Newar Buddhism. Shiskar Apa is her name in Lahul and Spiti. She is linked to the Hindu deity Lakshmi, and her Sanskrit name Vasundhara denotes that she is the progenitor of the eight "bountiful Vasus." According to the classic Mahabharat, she is the abundance of the Ganges' waters—the goddess Ganga, whose origin is the Himalayan snows.
