Vasudhara - Goddess of Abundance

Mandala means the “circle” or the “centre” in Sanskrit, mandala patterns are motifs that are centuries old, and are used to depict the cosmos.  A mandala is a geometric design or pattern that represents the cosmos or deities in various heavenly worlds. 

Let us see this unique thangka!

The central deity, Vasudhara with six hands is surrounded on all sides by thirteen deities. Her first hand is a gesture of supreme generosity, the second symbolises the 'three wish fulfilling gems, the third hand holds a golden rosary. Towards the other side, the first hand holds a 'vase of plenty', the second a sheaf of grain, the third holds the Prajnaparamita text; she is adorned with jewelled ornaments. She is seated in Lalitasana, a royal pose. The colour palette is dominated by green.

Vasudhara  is the Buddhist goddess of wealth, fertility, and well-being. She blesses her worshippers with material prosperity and spiritual wellness. She is full of compassion and loving-kindness toward all beings.
