Palden Lhamo - Vajrayana Buddhist Dharmapala Art Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
Palden Lhamo gallops out of a lamp-black sky. Magzor Gyalmo, the Queen Who Repels Armies, crosses an oxblood tide on a tawny mule. Her skin is lapis-blue. Three eyes ringed in chalk-white stare over a cinnabar mouth crowded with fangs. Saffron hair climbs above a five-skull crown in wire-thin strokes, and a burnished sun marks her navel.
Sanskrit knows this Vajrayana Buddhist dharmapala as Shri Devi. In Tibetan legend she was a ruler’s wife who could not turn her husband from slaughter. She left Lanka on a mule saddled with the flayed skin of their son. The thangka painter spared nothing. Slack hands swing under the girth. Serpents serve as reins, and a skull cup rests above her tiger-skin skirt.
Under the hooves lies a sea of blood, every wave curled in rust and coral. Simhavaktra, the crimson lion-headed attendant, runs at the mule’s tail. Gelug lamas in ochre-yellow hats sit above the churn, unbothered. Their school took this wrathful protector as guardian of the Dalai Lamas and Lhasa. This Himalayan art print keeps the chalky bite of distemper. Hang her where a doorway needs three open eyes.
Origin Story
Wall Art Size Guides
Framed Art Prints
1. Vertical
Use the sawtooth hanger at the top middle on the back of the frame and hang it on a single screw or nail.
2. Horizontal

Framed Canvas
1. D-rings (most secure)
Screw a D-ring onto the back of the frame on the left and right, both at the same height. A ruler helps here. Then put two screws in the wall where you want your canvas, level with each other and spaced the same distance apart as the D-rings. A spirit level makes this easier. Finally, hook the D-rings onto the screws.
2. Straight onto screws
Keep it simple: put two screws in the wall at the same height and rest the inner lip at the top of the back of the frame on them.
