Jambhala Thangka Print

About Our Print :
Namtoshe, the Lord of Wealth, is the Buddhist equivalent of Kubera, the Brahmanical deity of wealth, and he, too, rules over the sphere of riches. He protects the Northern area and Mount Sumeru, the center of the cosmos, as a Lokapala or Guardian King. His home is Alaka in the Himalayas, a place of wealth and splendor where he is attended by Yakshas and Kinnaras. He is also the Yakshas' ruler.
He has two major personalities: warrior guardian and riches deity. He is shown here as the deity of riches. He is known as Jambhala in southern Buddhism, notably in the Indian subcontinent, since he also bears a Jambhara (lemon) in one of his hands.

How does Thangka benefit us?
It goes without saying that every detail of a painting has a symbolic meaning. 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.
