Its compact size allows for close, daily presence while preserving the solemnity and discipline of formal thangka art.

Deity Introduction

Yellow Jambhala is regarded as the principal wealth deity within Tibetan Buddhism and one of the Five Jambhalas venerated across all major Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Known in Tibetan as Dzambhala Serpo, he originates from ancient Indian wealth deity traditions and later developed into a central Vajrayana protector supporting ethical prosperity and material stability.

He is widely honored as a guardian deity who upholds the Dharma while governing material resources necessary for sustaining both lay life and spiritual practice.

Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic

Yellow Jambhala is traditionally associated with generosity, right livelihood, and the cultivation of favorable conditions that support spiritual commitment. His iconography emphasizes merit, balance, and the responsible use of material resources rather than indulgence or attachment.

In Vajrayana understanding, devotion to Yellow Jambhala serves as a reminder that material sufficiency is meaningful when aligned with ethical conduct, compassionate intention, and disciplined practice.

Artistic Origin & Lineage

This thangka originates from Nepal and follows the Newar Black-Gold thangka tradition of the Kathmandu Valley. This lineage is recognized for its strict iconographic discipline, extremely fine gold linework, and symbolic use of black ground to represent emptiness and the primordial nature of reality.

Black-Gold thangkas are traditionally reserved for advanced ritual contexts and protector deity representations, reflecting both high artistic difficulty and deep symbolic meaning.
