Taming Tiger Lohan (Pindola)

Lohans, or Arhats in Sanskrit meaning “perfect saints”, were disciples of the Buddha. Attaining an advanced state of spiritual enlightenment, they were revered as the protectors of Buddhist law. Generally represented in groups, lohans are depicted as engaged in thought, alert, and self-confident. In Pindola's hand is a ring containing magical powers; he is resourceful, vigorous, and powerful to subdue the tiger.
