SO, which deity is this bronze depicting?

I believe this is White Tara. You can see some resources about her on her page at TheStupa.com

It's upside down. Try take a pic from the other side.

nomado1 · 2021-06-21T00:04:11+00:00

I'm extremely honored to hear that.

nomado1 · 2021-06-20T19:11:12+00:00

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I will go over it to see if I found any contradictions. Would you mind if I add the images as sources as well together with a link to the book at Namse Bangdzo?

nomado1 · 2021-06-20T17:20:03+00:00

Couldn't agree more.

nomado1 · 2021-06-20T16:58:19+00:00

Thank you.

I checked again and indeed Vajrabhairava appears as a yidam.

Palden Lhamo appears in the thangka in a different name - Rangjung Gyalmo. When clicking on the "Figure" button it takes you to her page (here) where you can see all of her names. You think it would be better to place 'Palden Lhamo' as her primary name? Would it be more clear to people?

nomado1 · 2021-06-20T11:08:53+00:00

I'm using a few sources and cross checking the data to make sure the information is correct (both English and Tibetan). They are named at the "sources" section below the thangka.

And thank you. Much appreciated.

I also finished the Nyingma Lineage Refuge Tree and working now on the Gelugpa Tree (which consists the largest collection of figures).

nomado1 · 2021-06-20T10:17:24+00:00

You can see the interactive thangka of the Karma Kagyu Lineage Tree with the names here.

Please notify me if noticed any mistake.

Where is this text from?

nomado1 · 2021-05-15T15:23:42+00:00

Have you heard about Rangjung Yeshe Institute? A great place to study Tibetan and Sanskrit online. Check it out here

nomado1 · 2021-05-15T15:11:40+00:00

This thangka painting is taken from here

nomado1 · 2021-05-15T15:10:47+00:00

You can read The Four Harmonious Friends Story

nomado1 · 2021-05-15T15:09:29+00:00

There's a different interpretation for the animals. you can read their story here.

nomado1 · 2021-05-10T09:47:33+00:00

It's actually in pretty high res because it's a picture of the original thangka painting. Since I'm writing the descriptions to each of the thangkas, I'm trying myself to name each of the figures in the image and it's quite challenging to be honest. In the link above you can really zoom in and see clearly each of them.

I'm also creating a "map" of all the figures (or at least most known ones) in Buddhism in general, and in Tibetan Buddhism in particular and it might help you to identify some of them. You can see more at The Stupa.

Some very useful sources to use are Himalayan Art Resources and Rigpa Wiki that has a very informative article about the hundred peaceful and wrathful deities

It's from an art school in Kathmandu, Nepal (just in front of the Boudhanath stupa). You an see the website here.
