Tibet Guge 09 Tsaparang Demchog Temple 05 Ratnasambhava  [42 of 45]


Along the back wall is the cycle of Akshobhya (Guhyasamaja), the five Tathagatas each with three heads and six arms, garbed in rich bodhisattva ornaments and crowns. On the far left of the wall is my favourite, a beautiful Ratnasambhava, painted in Kashmiri style with the faces and bodies elongated, the waists are very narrow, and the abdomens slightly bulging. They have well-developed, almost breast-like pectoral muscles, although their multiple arms are thin and spidery. Photo - Weyer/Aschoff: Tsaparang, Tibets Grosses Geheimnis,
