Usnisavijaya Thangka

This Tibetan thangka features the white-complexioned, three-faced Ushnishavijaya at the center, seated upon a lotus throne against a deep red mandorla. She holds various attributes, including a small Buddha image, a bow, a lasso, and a double vajra, while her hands display different mudras. She is adorned in elaborate jewelry, a celestial scarf, and colorful silks. Surrounding her are smaller, symmetrically arranged figures of enlightened beings, with a line of circular portraits framing the side edges of the central space and additional figures occupying the bottom horizontal register.

Ushnishavijaya is a deity associated with the prolongation of life and the purification of negative karma, originating from the Ushnisha-vijaya-dharani sutra in Mahayana Buddhism.
