Fierce Yama Dharmaraja | Wrathful Dharma Protector and Lord of Death in Tibetan Buddhist Tradition

Fierce Yama Dharmaraja | Featuring Manjushri, Buddhist Master and Forms of Yama

Fierce Yama Dharmaraja is a hand-painted gold masterpiece from Nepal, created using high-quality acrylic colors to achieve rich, vibrant tones. Each pigment is meticulously layered to add depth and dimension. The striking contrast between dark and vivid hues accentuates the deity's fierce, wrathful nature while maintaining balance and harmony in the composition. Often invoked in meditative practices for protection and inner power, this wrathful figure becomes a commanding presence on altars, in meditation rooms, and dharma sanctuaries, transforming fear into clarity and chaos into mindful awareness.

Genuine 24K gold is incorporated throughout the thangka, symbolizing purity, awakened wisdom, and the radiant qualities associated with an enlightened mind. This blend of traditional canvas, mineral-rich colors, and sacred gold makes the thangka a powerful spiritual support and a collector-quality artwork. Each brushstroke reflects the intent to preserve authentic iconography while offering practitioners a vibrant, blessed image for meditation and protection.

Yama Dharmaraja, also known as the "Lord of Death" or "Dharma Protector Yama," is a revered deity in Vajrayana Buddhism. Despite a fierce and dark appearance, he is not a symbol of violence but a divine embodiment of enlightened wisdom. Summoned by Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, Yama Dharmaraja arises to conquer ignorance, ego, and inner demons. As a fearless guardian of the dharma (spiritual teachings), he removes obstacles that prevent practitioners from attaining liberation. Radiating compassionate energy, he safeguards sacred spaces, dispels illusions, and empowers spiritual seekers with unwavering strength. Wide-open, penetrating eyes and a fanged mouth reflect an unrelenting drive to destroy delusion and egoic attachment. Surrounding him are Manjushri, a revered Buddhist master, and multiple forms of Yama.
