Kubera is the god of wealth, whose blessings remove the obstacles of poverty and bring wealth and abundance to sincere Dharma practitioners. Since it can be challenging to attain spiritual realizations while lacking resources, Dzambhala generates prosperity, allowing practitioners the time, energy, and means to accomplish their goals.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the sutras, while Shakyamuni Buddha was teaching one day, demons attempted to disturb and confuse him. Dzambhala appeared before the Buddha and protected him. Recognizing Dzambhala's courageous action, the Buddha asked him if he would like to become a Dharma Protector to assist all sentient beings. Dzambhala accepted the Buddha's offer and has since provided immediate assistance to anyone who calls upon his name or chants his mantra. His blessings bring good luck, increase virtues, prolong life, enhance intelligence, and provide both material and spiritual benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e**Gestures and Attributes**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are five Dzambhalas: yellow, white, black, green, and red, with yellow being the most common form. Each form has its own special significance and attributes.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eYellow Dzambhala\/Kubera is depicted adorned with a crown, elegant silk garments, and beautiful gold and jeweled ornaments. He sits regally upon a throne, holding a bijapuraka (citron) fruit in his right hand and a mongoose in his left hand. The mongoose continuously spews forth precious jewels and treasures, symbolizing Dzambhala’s victory over the nagas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e**What is an Oil-Varnished Thangka?**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn oil-varnished thangka painting is a unique style of thangka, a traditional Buddhist religious painting typically found in Tibet and other Himalayan regions. Unlike traditional thangkas that use natural pigments mixed with a binder, oil-varnished thangkas are created using oil-based paints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe process of creating an oil-varnished thangka involves painting intricate images of Buddhist deities, scenes, or mandalas on canvas or wooden panels with oil paints. Once the painting is completed, it is coated with a layer of varnish, which enhances the colors and details while protecting the artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOil-varnished thangkas often display vibrant colors and possess a distinct shine due to the varnish layer. The use of oil paints allows for a different level of detail and shading, giving these thangkas a unique aesthetic appeal compared to traditional watercolor-based thangkas. However, both styles hold significant cultural and religious meanings and are valued for their spiritual representation in Buddhist practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSize with Silk Brocade:33- inch x 44-inch (84 cm x 112 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nSize of Inner painting: 14.5- inch x 19.5-inch (37 cm x 50 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Handmade Cotton Canvas\u003cbr\u003e\nColor: Gold, Silver, Natural stone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n \n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore making a purchase, please take note of the following important information:\u003cbr\u003e\n- Each painting is hand-painted, making every piece unique. \u003cbr\u003e\n- Differences in lighting and screen resolution may result in slight color variations.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Paintings are even more captivating when viewed in person.\u003cbr\u003e\n- The size specified for the painting does not include the outer border.\u003cbr\u003e\n- All paintings will be securely packed in a PVC tube to ensure safe transit.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Buyers are responsible for any additional fees at their destination, including import taxes and duties, which are not included in the purchase price.\u003cbr\u003e\nThank you for choosing us for your artwork needs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tibetan Thangka Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53226511860009,"sku":"ZAMBHALOIL3344","price":418.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/1282\/8201\/files\/il_fullxfull.6850220239_ec0k.jpg?v=1780502284","url":"https:\/\/www.tibetanthangkaart.com\/fr\/products\/hand-painted-kubera-thangka-tibetan-god-of-wealth-oil-on-canvas","provider":"Tibetan Thangka Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
