The paubha depicts the mandala of Amoghapasha, Lord of the Unerring Noose, a popular form of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara in the Kathmandu Valley. Rows of narrative scenes above and below relate legends of this form of the bodhisattva. It is likely that the painting was commissioned as part of the performance of the Buddhist ashtami vrata ritual, in which a devotee, or group of devotees, vows to perform a series of pilgrimages in the Kathmandu Valley over a period of one year, sometimes culminating in the ritual consecration of a paubha, as portrayed in the lower register of the painting.
