Yellow Jambhala – The Supreme God of Wealth in Vajrayana Buddhism
Yellow Jambhala, known in Tibetan as Zambala Serpo, is also called Norlha, meaning “Lord of Wealth.”
In the ancient Zhangzhung tradition, he is referred to as Zambhala.
He is regarded as:
-
The chief among all wealth deities
-
A Dharma Protector in Vajrayana Buddhism
-
One of the Five Jambhalas revered across all Tibetan Buddhist schools
(White, Yellow, Red, Green, and Black Jambhala)
Yellow Jambhala is honored not only as a deity of wealth, but as a protector who safeguards right livelihood, ethical prosperity, and material stability.
Iconography & Symbolism
The imagery of Yellow Jambhala in this thangka follows traditional iconographic standards:
-
Yellow body – symbolizing abundance, fertility, and generosity
-
Bare upper body with lower garment – expressing openness and fearlessness
-
Right hand holding a wish-fulfilling jewel (Cintamani)
→ Symbol of illuminating merit and increasing blessings
-
Left arm embracing a treasure-spitting mongoose
→ The mongoose releases jewels, representing the continuous flow of wealth
-
Right foot stepping on a white conch shell
→ Symbolizing the ability to retrieve treasures from the depths, even in difficult conditions
In Vajrayana belief, Yellow Jambhala represents wealth supported by wisdom, longevity, and virtuous causes, rather than reckless gain.
