Four-Armed Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig), the Bodhisattva of Compassion, seated in full lotus posture on a multi-colored lotus throne at the center. He holds his primary hands folded at his heart in the prayer mudra (Anjali Mudra), while his outer right hand holds a crystal mala (prayer beads) and his outer left hand holds a white lotus flower. Arranged along the top against a deep blue sky are five seated Buddha figures, representing the Five Dhyani Buddhas. Below the central throne sit two prominent attendants: Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, wielding a flaming sword on the lower left, and the wrathful protector Vajrapani surrounded by flames on the lower right, all set against a lush natural landscape filled with verdant hills, clouds, and floral motifs.
