Cut from a solitary square of dark basalt stone of obscure root, the Budhanilkantha statue is 5 meters long and it lies in a leaning back position inside a recessed tank of water (speaking to the vast ocean) that is 13 meters long. Called the Sleeping Vishnu, or Jalakshayan Narayan, the statue portrays the divinity leaning back on the turning curls of the infinite serpent (Shesha is the everlasting, multi-headed ruler of the serpent gods known as Nagas, furthermore is the hireling of Vishnu). Vishnu's legs are crossed and the eleven heads of Shesha support his head. Vishnu's four hands hold questions that are images of his celestial qualities: a chakra or plate (speaking to the brain), a conch-shell (the four components), a lotus bloom (the moving universe) and the club (antiquated information).

Budhanilkantha truly signifies "old blue-throat' and how it understood that name is captivating, as clarified by the fantastic Rough Guide to Nepal:

"Budhanilkatha's name has been a wellspring of unending perplexity. It has nothing to do with the Buddha (budha signifies "old", however that doesn't stop Buddhist Newars – a specific organization of Nepalese Buddhists - from adoring the picture). The genuine puzzler is the reason Budhanilkantha (truly "Old Blue Throat"), a title which undeniably alludes to Shiva, has been appended here to Vishnu. The myth of Shiva's blue throat, a most loved in Nepal, relates how the divine beings agitated the sea of presence and incidentally unleashed a toxic substance that undermined to pulverize the world. They asked Shiva to spare them from their screw up and he obliged by drinking the toxic substance. His throat blazing, the considerable god flew up to the range north of Kathmandu, hit the mountainside with his trident to make a lake, Gosainkund, and extinguished his thirst – enduring no enduring sick impact aside from a blue fix on his throat. The water in the Sleeping Vishnu's tank is famously accepted to begin in Gosainkund, and Shaivas guarantee a leaning back picture of Shiva can be seen under the waters of the lake amid the yearly Shiva celebration there in August, which maybe clarifies the affiliation. Neighborhood legend keeps up that a reflect like statue of Shiva lies on the statue's underside."

Two old stories offer varying clarifications of the starting point of the Budhanilkantha statue. One says that the statue was etched and brought (by lovers or constrained work) to its present area in Kathmandu amid the rule of the seventh-century ruler Vishnugupta, who controlled the Kathmandu valley under the Licchavi lord Bhimarjunadev.
