This image was brought from Vajragiri, another Buddhist site of Cuttack district. The Mahayanists consider him to be one of the greatest of the Boddhisativas. They believe that the worship of Manjusri confers upon them wisdom, retentive memory, intelligence and eloquence and enables them to master over many sacred scriptures. The bust of the figure is represented here with both hands in Dharma chakra pravartana mudra. The image seems to be in meditative mood and the book placed on the lotus flower at the left side of the image. Necklace, sacred thread, armlets, bangles, heavy earrings and crowning ornaments are very elegantly carved. The matted locks of hair are carefully arranged in three separate dimensions and are allowed to fall on his shoulders. The Chauri bearers along with flying Vidyadharas are seen on both the sides of the image. It is carved in sand stone but is in a good preservation.
