    Hello the picture tagged as Mahavishnu is not Mahavishnu but Lord Shiva, in Buddhism Shiva is known as Avalokiteshvara. So that image is actually Avalokiteshvara and in no way related to Vishnu. Please correct it, you can either put Avalokiteshvara or Buddhist Shiva.

Please correct it, you can either put Avalokiteshvara or Buddhist Shiva. You can clearly see the mala on upper right arm, lotus( in Chola artistic way) on left upper arm and Abhaya-varad mudra, yet Amitabha Buddha on the crown. So only Lord Shiva holds mala and lotus yet Vishnu on the other hand always holds Sanka and chakra with Gada and Abhaya.
