Info created by unknown artist, uploaded by DcoetzeeBot, nominated by Yann- Info This representation of Buddha Vairocana, the “Resplendent One,” features several of his defining characteristics, including his white color, performing the teaching gesture (dharmacakramudra), and sitting on an elaborate lion throne. The two bodhisattvas flanking him—one green and carrying a sword, the other red and holding a lotus—and the teachers in the upper corners cannot be identified with certainty. This painting was likely part of a set and only the knowledge of the whole set enables the identification of the secondary figures. Pigments on cloth, 14th century thangka.

Question Tilted down when going from right to left? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:24, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, but this may never has been rectangular, and it may also be distorted over the centuries. And since it reproduced that way by Google Art Project, I would not change that. Yann (talk) 09:58, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
