The Celestial Offerings

Two celestial beings float on the upper clouds. They flank the Guru on the right and left. They offer garlands and music to the master. This shows that the heavens rejoice in his presence.

The central figure is the Great Master Padmasambhava. He sits in a posture of royal ease. He is drawn in pure gold against the red void.

He holds the tools of ultimate realization.

• Right Hand: He holds a golden Vajra. It acts as a weapon against ignorance.

The Divine Consorts

Two enlightened female figures sit below the master. They represent the perfect union of bliss and emptiness. They are rendered in delicate gold outlines.

Mandarava (The Long Life Consort)

She sits to the side, offering a vase. Princess Mandarava grants the blessing of immortality. She helps the practitioner extend their practice time.

Yeshe Tsogyal (The Wisdom Consort)

She offers a skull cup filled with nectar. Mother Yeshe Tsogyal preserves the secret teachings. She represents the clear, open nature of wisdom.

Artistic Style & Borders

This Thangka differs from traditional landscapes. It uses color to convey intense energy.

The Red Pure Land

The artist used a striking Red Sky. This represents the intensity of Tantric practice. The earth, clouds, and lotus throne are gold. This creates the effect of the "Copper-Colored Mountain."

The Nagthang Dragon Border

A protective Nagthang border frames the deity. Deep black surrounds shimmering golden dragons. They guard the wisdom within. This adds a layer of fierce protection.

Spiritual Application

Use this focal point for protection practices. It serves as a powerful obstacle remover.
