Product Overview

This Yamantaka (Vajrabhairava) & Yellow Jambhala Thangka Pendant is a master-level, double-sided Tibetan thangka, fully hand-painted on both sides in 18K gold, created in the rigorous Rebgong (Regong) artistic tradition.

The front presents Yamantaka, the ultimate wrathful manifestation of Manjushri, embodying the power to subdue death, fear, and fundamental ignorance.
The reverse features Yellow Jambhala, the principal deity of wealth and abundance in Vajrayana Buddhism, symbolizing material support grounded in ethical merit and protection.

Encased in a full 18K gold Gau box, protected by sapphire crystal mirrors and accented with rainbow tourmaline gemstone inlay, this piece unites supreme wisdom and rightful prosperity in a single, highly advanced devotional artwork.

Front Image Description: Yamantaka (Vajrabhairava)

The front image depicts Yamantaka, the most formidable wrathful emanation of Manjushri (Bodhisattva of Wisdom).
In traditional Buddhist understanding:

“To subdue evil is called Great Power (Wei);
to uphold goodness is called Great Virtue (De).”

Iconography & Visual Structure

• Yamantaka is portrayed with nine heads arranged in three vertical tiers, an exceptionally demanding composition that tests both the technical mastery and spiritual grounding of the artist.

• The uppermost central head reveals Manjushri himself, gazing forward with calm compassion—clearly affirming that wrath here arises from wisdom, not anger.

• With thirty-four arms, Yamantaka wields numerous ritual implements, each representing a specific method for cutting through delusion, fear, and ego-clinging.

• The overall presence is overwhelming yet precise, conveying absolute authority over death, inner demons, and existential terror.

This form is considered one of the most complex and advanced subjects in Tibetan thangka painting, traditionally entrusted only to artists with deep training and disciplined practice.

Reverse Image: Yellow Jambhala – Wealth Rooted in Merit

The reverse side features Yellow Jambhala, revered across Tibetan Buddhist schools as the foremost deity of wealth and prosperity.

Symbolic Meaning

• Yellow Jambhala represents material abundance that supports spiritual life, not greed or excess.

• He is traditionally associated with:

  • Overcoming hardship and obstacles

  • Increasing fortune through ethical action

  • Dispelling negative forces and misfortune

• His presence emphasizes that prosperity is sustained by wisdom, compassion, and right conduct.

Placed on the reverse of Yamantaka, Yellow Jambhala completes a profound Vajrayana principle:

Wisdom subdues ignorance; merit sustains life.

A High-Level Vajrayana Union: Wisdom & Prosperity

This pendant embodies a rare and advanced pairing:

• Yamantaka (Front)
  Supreme wisdom that destroys fear, death, and fundamental ignorance.

• Yellow Jambhala (Back)
