Namgyalma is described as having eight arms. Her first right hand holds a vajra at the level of her heart, which is representative of the indestructibility found in balance.

The fourth right hand is in a gesture most often associated with being the gesture of granting generosity.
A thangka is a Tibetan painting that is traditionally used as a support for one’s meditation practice.

In Tibetan homes and monasteries, thangkas are considered sacred objects and are often placed above shrines.
This is a very high quality Thangka painting from The Himalayas purely made by hand with natural stone color and pure gold.
