Overview

Yellow Jambhala Thangka

Jambhala is a wealth deity whose benefits take away the impediment of poverty, bringing wealth and abundance to pure Dharma practitioners. As it's miles tough to obtain non secular realizations even as troubled by way of lack of assets, Jambhala generates prosperity in order that practitioners have the time, energy, and approach to accomplish. There are five Jambhalas - yellow, white, black, green and red - of which yellow is the most common form. Each form has its own unique importance and attributes. Yellow Jambhala is depicted adorned with a crown, silk garments, and beautiful gold and jeweled ornaments. He is seated imperially upon a throne, with a bijapuraka (citron) fruit in his right hand and a mongoose in his left hand. The mongoose constantly spews forth precious jewels and treasures and represents Jambhala's victory over the nagas. His advantages bestow true good fortune, increase virtues, extend life, increase intelligence, and offer each material and religious benefits.
