Vaisravana 5-08
Vaisravana (other spellings- Vaishravana, Vaisramana). Also known as Kubera, he is the Great Dharma Protector, God of Wealth and Guardian King of the North. He sits astride a Snow Lion holding a Victory Banner and jewel-spouting mongoose. I believe the Bodhisattvas at the bottom are Manjushri (wisdom) and Vajrapani (power). The Buddha at the top is Amitabha (Buddha of Infinite Light - symbolizing compassion).
This thankga is in a modern style, using muted colors and some 3D shading.
Canvas Size: 15"x 22" Brocade Size: 26"x 44"
