Product Overview

This Yellow Jambhala Hand-Painted Thangka Gawu Pendant is an ornate, high-detail Tibetan Buddhist amulet, created as a wealth protector and spiritual support object for practitioners and collectors.

Each pendant is entirely hand-painted, preserving the integrity of traditional Himalayan thangka art in a miniature, wearable format.

 Yellow Jambhala – Chief of the Five Wealth Deities

Yellow Jambhala, known in Tibetan as Norla, and also called Dzambhala Serpo (Zangse), is the principal deity of wealth in Vajrayana Buddhism and the foremost among the Five Jambhalas—White, Yellow, Red, Green, and Black.

He is revered not only as a deity of prosperity, but also as a protector (Dharmapala) who safeguards the material foundation necessary for spiritual practice.

Symbolism & Iconography:

• Yellow body: Represents abundance, stability, and the nourishment of merit

• Right hand holding the wish-fulfilling jewel (Cintamani): Symbolizes the radiance of rightful wealth and blessings

• Left arm embracing a jewel-spitting mongoose: Indicates continuous flow of resources and generosity

• Right foot stepping on a white conch shell: Signifies overcoming obstacles and retrieving treasures even from the depths

Yellow Jambhala is traditionally associated with:

• Strengthening upright and stable wealth fortune

• Dispelling negative influences and obstacles

• Supporting practitioners by securing the material conditions needed for cultivation
