Namsarai - god of wealth
(tib. Rnam-thos sras)
The great Dharmapala(Protector of the Teaching) Vaishravana (Rnam-thos
sras), guardian deity of the north and god of wealth, sits astride a
ravishing white snow lion holding a victory banner and a plump,
jewel-spouting mongoose (who symbolizes generosity, as it conquers
the snakes of avarice).
This
thangka was ordered by Buddhist Community of a small village
Tabtanai, Aginsky district (Buryatia, Russia). |
