This Thangka is a complex Universal Mandala (dkyil 'khor), a sacred diagram representing the entire universe and a deity's palace.
The central circular mandala contains a central figure, likely a Buddha or Bodhisattva, surrounded by concentric layers of deities, geometric patterns, and ritual symbols. The square inner section within the circle represents the divine palace, often entered through four gates.
The entire composition is set within a dense, richly colored field of stylized clouds, flowers, and peripheral figures, including Wrathful Deities at the bottom. It is used as a focal point for meditation, guiding the practitioner toward realizing the enlightened mind at the center.
