Notes about the Central Figure
Classification: Person
Tibetan King: wearing a traditional head covering and richly ornamented garments, he holds a bowl of wish-fulfilling jewels in the left hand while the right hand rests casually across the knee.
Surrounding the central figure are 201 forms of Green Tara, arranged in orderly rows, each with one face and two hands, seated in a relaxed posture.
