Bishworupa
is an Universal form of God Shiva. Meanwhile,
the Bhishworupa has many designations by
different people as a different religion.
Just like in Buddhist religion, belief is
that Bishworupa is a Universal form of Shaharshavuj
Avalekiteshwor. Even in Hindu religion,
there are two theories of designation. One
side, devotees of god believe that Bishworupa
is a universal form of Bishnu. He has power
to make the continuation of the universe.
He is the real energy of the universe.
For example, 6 km far from Bhaktapur in
the North side, there is a temple of Changu
Narayan which was made by King Mandev. At
the corner side of west & south of the
temple, there is a statue of Bishworupa
made by stone. It indicates that Bishworupa
is also the next form of Bishnu.
On the other side; people believe that Bishworupa
is the universal form of Shiva. He has the
power of destruction. He can do anything
to the Universe. People believed that he
is the power of real energy for Generation,
Operation, and Destruction of the Universe.
So it is called that he is the real energy
of the Universe. We believe, based on the
wall painting of 55 windows Darbar Squire
(55 Jhyal Darbar) which was made by King
Bhupatindra Malla of Bhaktapur.
King Bhupatindra Malla was a successful
king of his reign since AD 1698 to 1722.
He was King of Bhaktapur in the middle age.
In his period, there were made most of temples
and many artistic materials were developed.
King Bhupatindra Malla was interested in
fine arts as himself. He used to paint wall
paintings. Still, we can see lots of wall
paintings in the area of Bhaktapur Darbar
which were made by him. In side of 55 windows
Darbar, there is large wall painting at
the fourth side of the room. That wall painting
was in restoration situation. Now, it is
being renovated.
The Bishworupa wall painting is situated
in the 55 windows Darbar which was in full
side on the wall made by King Bhupatindra
Malla. The room was used as his sacred room.
In the wall painting, King Bhupatindra Malla
defines himself in image of Bishworupa that
he is one of the forms of Bishworupa. In
this way, he just put a moustache on the
face of the painting. It can be seen on
the painting.
Mr. Sudarshan Suwal, thanka artist tried
to copy as similar as possible even though
the original wall painting is large and
indistinct. He made it 7 X 10 feet in size.
He also used pigments stone colour and real
gold. He spent 20 months for completing
the painting. The painting has become such
a good painting and it is explicit to whoever
can see easily and understand. According
to the painting, Bishworupa is standing
on to thorn asana with his consort. He has
1000 arms and all arms hold heads and deities.
He just holds the Sun with his chariot by
his first couple of arms. He has 62 heads.
There are also lots of deities on his body
figure. Also there is a face on the stomach
of Bishworupa which is showing the birth
of a mundane existence. He had 8 legs. He
just wearing garland of deities and scull
heads. There are 14 deities on the bottom
side. On the side of the main figure, there
are garland of several heads. Just side
of the heads, there are lots of fires. It
is the indicates that Bishworupa has more
energy and is the most powerful god. On
both sides of the figure, are shown scenes
of mundane in 10 steps where most of armies
and battlefields, kings and their life style
and people and devotees. In some steps,
they show about traditional festival and
their relative people.In this way, the painting
is depicted with different kind of features.
