Product Overview
This double-sided Tibetan Ghau Thangka pendant features Zaki Lham – “Past & Present Life” on the front and the Five Sacred Inscriptions on the back.
Both sides are entirely hand-painted with 18K gold by skilled artists from the Rebgong (Regong) tradition, using traditional mineral pigments and precise line techniques.
By combining a revered Tibetan protector figure with a symbolic inscription representing balance and well-being, this pendant reflects a holistic approach to stability, protection, and daily mindfulness. It is suitable for personal wear, travel, or as a culturally meaningful gift.
Zaki Lham – “Past & Present Life”
Zaki Lham is widely respected in Tibetan culture as a female protector figure associated with material stability, resilience, and transformation.
Her imagery is often linked to confidence, perseverance, and the ability to move forward beyond past limitations.
The theme of “Past & Present Life” symbolizes:
-
Renewal beyond previous circumstances
-
Strength during periods of change
-
Openness to opportunity arising from unexpected directions
Rather than promising instant wealth, Zaki Lham represents a grounded and mindful relationship with material life.
Five Sacred Inscriptions – Symbolism & Meaning
The back of the pendant features the Five Sacred Inscriptions, a symbolic composition traditionally associated with balance and protection.
These five elements are commonly understood to represent:
-
Peace – inner calm and emotional stability
-
Smooth Progress – clarity and reduced obstacles
-
Harmony in Relationships – social balance and goodwill
-
Material Stability – responsible engagement with wealth
-
Health & Vitality – respect for physical well-being
Together, the inscriptions form a protective and contemplative symbol, emphasizing balance rather than excess.
The Meaning of This Dual-Sided Pairing
When Zaki Lham and the Five Sacred Inscriptions are presented together:
-
Zaki Lham represents personal strength, protection, and confidence
-
The inscriptions represent balance, harmony, and mindful intention
This pairing reflects a traditional Himalayan perspective that outer stability and inner balance should coexist. It is often chosen by individuals who value steady progress, personal responsibility, and long-term well-being.
