Deity Of Wealth Thangka
Introduction To The Thangka :
Lord Kubera, the god of wealth, is depicted in this thangka sitting regal. He has a golden-yellow skin and a plump, ornamented body made of gold. He is crowned with a five-pronged headdress that represents the five transcendental Buddhas. The deity is distinguished by his enormous eyes, tilted lips, and unique mustache and beard. His torso is draped in a long, flowing scarf, and below the waist, he is dressed in ultra-fine clothing.He frequently carries a variety of objects in his right hand, such a sword, banner, lemon, or flat cup, but the most recognizable emblem for which he is known is the mongoose (Nakula), which he clutches in his left hand.
Because it consistently spits up jewels, the mongoose is a symbol for blessings from the Lord of Wealth. Lord Kubera is seated in the lalitasana position, with one leg up and the other curled up on the lotus' pistil. The lotus throne is where he is sitting. Precious jewels are being offered to him as sacrifices.

Regardless of your religious affiliation, a thangka can help you on your path to enlightenment, whether you practice Buddhism or have other religious convictions. Thangkas are paintings that depict deities with various iconographic elements and symbolism that encourage meditation on the teachings of the god they depict. Any thangka is intended to aid in the removal of the film of ignorance, which is a significant barrier to the road to enlightenment. The Thangka is revered as a holy item. They promote positivity, spread Buddhism's teachings, bring about peace, harmony, and oneness, and dispel any negative energy that may be there.
