Symbolic Offerings

In the center of this painting is a depiction of the universe, with its circular bottom depicted from the top and above that Mount Meru and the heavenly palace shown from the side. It is flanked by the attributes of seven deities, four to the left and three to the right. These can be identified, from left to right, as Vaishravana, Four-armed Mahakala, White Mahakala, Six-armed Mahakala, Yama Dharmaraja, Dusolma, and Begtse Chen. All around them are diverse offerings. A rather unusual detail of this painting is the depiction of a yeti couple tearing apart a human in the bottom right corner.
