Description:
A Tibetan thangka depicting the Wrathful Vajrayana deity Yamantaka. Yamantaka is the wrathful aspect of the Bodhisattva of wisdom Manjushri, who assumes this form to vanquish Yama, the god of death. By defeating Yama, the cycle of rebirths (samsara) that prevents enlightenment is broken. Seated above the deity are figures of Amoghasiddhi and two manifestations of Avalokiteshvara together with two Gelugpa lamas - the central lama figure most probably Je song Karpa, the leader of the Gelupka school of Tibetan Buddhism. Provenance: Purchased in London in the early 1970s. 86 x 54 cm
