Iconography: A Visual Dharma Teaching

This isn't just a deity; it is a fusion of two major protective forces. 
The deity appears as Simhamukha, but with a lower body that transforms into a Phurba (Kila), the ritual dagger that pins down negativity.

• The Lion Face:
  Her white lion face represents a fearless mind that startles you out of confusion. 
  Her red body symbolises the magnetising energy of compassion.
• The Phurba Body:
  Instead of legs, her lower body is a three-sided dagger (Kila).
  This "pins down" the ego and negative emotions, represented by the figure lying beneath the point. It symbolises immovable stability.
• Sun & Moon:
  In her hands, she raises the Sun (Right) and Moon (Left).
  This signifies her command over the cosmos and the balancing of the solar and lunar energies within your own body.

The Living Landscape & Artistry

The Nagthang (Black Background) style is the perfect canvas for this wrathful protector, the absolute void of emptiness.

The artist has used Genuine 24K Gold to paint the roaring flames, which do not burn you, but burn away the obstacles preventing your happiness.

A Sacred Tool for Your Path

• For Grounding:
  Use this image when you feel scattered. The Phurba shape invites energy to settle and stabilise.
• For Protection:
  This form is specifically revered for repelling negative energy and stopping astrological obstacles (symbolised by the Sun and Moon).
• A Final Blessing:
  May this Thangka stand as a fortress in your home, piercing through darkness to reveal the light of wisdom.
