Manjushri-ghosha (Tibetan: jam pal yang. English: The Glorious One with a Melodious Voice).Along the top, from the left, is a Tibetan lama with the hands in the teaching gesture wearing monastic robes and a pandita hat. Next is the Buddha of Medicine (Sanskrit: Bhaishajyaguru), blue in colour followed by the buddha Shakyamuni flanked by two standing arhats. Next is the goddess Prajnaparamita, yellow in colour with four hands followed by the buddha of long-life, Amitayus, red, holding a vase and wearing a crown. Lastly, a householder lama with long hair holds the hands in the mudra of Dharma Teaching.Vertically along both sides are five seated lamas all with the hands in the teaching gesture, each hand holding the stem of a lotus and wearing monastic robes. All but one wear a pandita hat. Beneath them on the left is the wisdom deity White Achala (Tib.: me'o wa kar po) holding a sword and lasso, in a kneeling posture. On the right is Green Tara holding the stems of two blue lotus flowers, seated in a relaxed manner.Along the bottom from the left is the wrathful deity who removes disease, Bhurkumkuta (Tib.: me wa tseg pa), dark in colour, with three faces and six hands, standing in the flames of pristine awareness. Next is the wealth deity Ganapati, elephant faced, white in colour with four hands, seated in a relaxed manner. Next is Black Jambhala, deity of wealth, naked, holding a skullcup and mongoose, in a standing posture. Next is Panjara Mahakala with one face and two hands followed by a form of Mahakali Palden Rabtenma, black with two hands holding a sword and bag, riding a mule. At the bottom right corner is a solitary monastic figure most likely the patron of the artwork.Along with Avalokiteshvara and Tara, Manjushri is one of the most popular bodhisattvas and tutelary deity figures in Tantric Buddhism. Practiced in all schools, new and old, there are dozens of lineages, forms and variations of practice. For the Sarma Schools Manjushri is found in all four tantric classifications: Kriya, Carya, Yoga and Anuttarayoga. The most popular of those arise from the Siddhaikavira Tantra. Although no clear lineage characteristics can be found, it does however show a strong general Sakya influence based on the collection of secondary deity figures.In style the painting indicates a Nepali influence seen in the geometric layout, strong colours and detailed ornamentation striving not to leave any open canvas.Jeff Watt 7-98
