Guanyin, derived from the Sanskrit Avalokitesvara, is the third and most popular deity in the Chinese Buddhist pantheon. Revered in China as the goddess of kindness and virtue, she holds a role akin to Virgin Mary in Christian traditions. Worship extends to Korea, Japan, and Tibet. Often depicted as a female figure, Guanyin is believed to rescue people from troubles, promote fertility, aid in childbirth, and protect women.Originally portrayed as a male warrior, the female depiction gained prevalence from the 14th century onward. Variations include four-armed, eight-armed, eleven-faced, and thousand-armed forms.
