The deity, with white skin, is seated majestically on a grand throne, elegantly dressed in a traditional dhoti, and adorned with an array of ribbons and intricate jewelry, which adds to the overall grandeur of the scene. The deity is surrounded by a radiant nimbus and aureole, which further emphasizes the deity's divine nature. The scene is set amidst a breathtaking landscape, with mountains, flowers, and a serene body of water surrounding the deity. The tranquil scene is further accentuated by the presence of four lamas and two Buddhas who stand in awe of the deity's grace and magnificence.
