This thangka depicts Chenrezig, one of the most widely venerated deities in Tibetan Buddhism, in his four-armed form, seated in serene stillness with Amitābha depicted above his head—the Buddha of the Lotus Family, to which he belongs.
His unstained white body is softly shaded with subtle tones of red, preserving its luminous clarity. The fine patterns of lotus blossoms—symbols of the Lotus Family—are delicately painted in gold across his flowing garments. The transparent halo surrounding him is rendered with delicate, wave-like gold lines and radiates the light of the five symbolic colors—white, blue, yellow, red, and green—as described in the Sādhana.
