Product Overview
This exceptional double-sided Tibetan Thangka pendant features Zaki Lhamo, one of the most distinctive and widely venerated protector deities associated with wealth in Tibetan Buddhism. The reverse side displays the Zaki Mantra Seed Syllable (ॐ), completing a fully integrated devotional piece.
The Thangka is entirely hand-painted on both sides using pure 18K gold, following the sacred artistic standards of the Rebgong (Regong) tradition. Encased in a traditional Tibetan Gawu box, this pendant is designed as a portable shrine, suitable for daily wear, travel protection, or long-term spiritual practice.
This is not decorative jewelry, but an authentic Himalayan religious artwork created for devotion, contemplation, and cultural preservation.
Zaki Lhamo – The Unique Goddess of Wealth and Protection
Zaki Lhamo holds a very special position in Tibetan Buddhism. She is revered not only as a Dharma protector, but also as a powerful Goddess of Wealth, especially known for bringing fortune through unexpected and unconventional means.
Origin & Legend
According to Tibetan tradition, Zaki Lhamo was originally a noble woman from the Chinese heartland who suffered an unjust death. Through the guidance and liberation of a great Buddhist master, she released her resentment, embraced the Dharma, and later became a powerful protector deity in Tibet.
She is now enshrined as the principal deity of Zaki Temple in Lhasa, the only temple in Tibet dedicated exclusively to a wealth deity and one of the most actively worshipped pilgrimage sites.

Zaki Mantra Seed Syllable (ॐ) – Completing the Spiritual Cycle
