Exquisite Gold on Black Five Dzambhalas | Traditional Tibetan Art of Abundance & Fortune
This striking gold on black five Dzambhalas is a masterful hand-painted artwork on cotton canvas. It utilizes acrylic colors and is delicately outlined with genuine 24K gold. The deep black background acts as a sacred void from which the golden figures emanate divine energy, enhancing both their visual appeal and spiritual significance. Created by a skilled Nepali artist in the traditional Himalayan style, this painting is an elegant blend of fine artistry and revered Buddhist iconography. The five forms of Dzambhala, deities of wealth and protection, are rendered in brilliant gold, each displaying symbolic postures and attributes that embody unique qualities of abundance.
At the center is Yellow Dzambhala, depicted in a regal pose upon a lotus throne. He holds a citron fruit, symbolizing wealth, and a mongoose that spews precious jewels, representing the removal of poverty and the attainment of prosperity. Red Dzambhala attracts wealth and magnetizes favorable conditions. He is seated with his consort, symbolizing wisdom and skillful means, and holds a kapala filled with jewels and a mace, representing his ability to protect wealth and alleviate suffering from desire and attachment. Green Dzambhala, also seated with his consort, embodies action and swift accomplishment. He holds a mongoose and a wishing jewel, signifying his rapid response to practitioners' needs.
White Dzambhala symbolizes his capacity to grant fortune and overcome financial obstacles. The dragon beneath him represents protection, strength, and the power to conquer challenges. Black Dzambhala, the most wrathful form, is standing atop demonic figures. This placement symbolizes his power to defeat ego, greed, and obstacles that hinder spiritual or material growth. He holds a skull cup and a mongoose, radiating compassion, and is often invoked to remove spiritual blockages and deep karmic debts.
Surrounding the deities are clouds, blossoming lotuses, and celestial offerings, all intricately drawn in radiant gold. The gold-on-black style of this thangka accentuates the divine glow of each Dzambhala, allowing practitioners to concentrate deeply on their forms during meditation. It symbolizes not only prosperity, protection, and karmic purification but also serves as a sacred work of art designed to inspire devotion and attract the energy of abundance.
