【Description】

This miniature presents Norgyunma as the central figure, flanked by Yellow Jambhala and Black Jambhala, forming a powerful and complete wealth mandala. Norgyunma symbolizes abundant resources, continuous prosperity, and ever-flowing merit, supporting smooth progress in both livelihood and Dharma activities, while strengthening fortune and dissolving scarcity. Yellow Jambhala enhances stable income, harmonious fortune, and long-lasting prosperity. Black Jambhala supports opportunity wealth, rapid financial gains, and obstacle-clearing power, removing deep-rooted hindrances and opening the path for breakthroughs.

Together, the triad embodies: “Continuous Wealth × Stable Income × Opportunity Wealth × Obstacle-Clearing Power.”

Executed in the Chikara style, the painting features layered mural tones and dense scrollwork inspired by fifteenth-century monastic wall paintings. The background is entirely hand-designed by the artist, giving each piece its own individuality. The facial rendering follows Tsering Lodrö's gentle, rounded Chikara style, creating a warm and luminous presence.

【Chikara Technique & Difficulty】

Rooted in fifteenth-century mural traditions, the Chikara style is known for its layered tones, classical scroll motifs, and grounded color palettes. The dense scrollwork requires highly controlled linework, and the mural-style layering demands refined technique, especially on a 4×5 cm miniature.
