The 8th Tai Situ, Chokyi Jungne (1700-1774).
In the center of the composition is Situ Panchen Chokyi Jungne holding a text with both hands. In the upper left corner is White Tara Wish-Fulfilling Wheel. At the upper right side is Ekavira Vajrabhairava (Solitary Hero). Next to Vajrabhairava is Katog Rigdzin Tsewang Norbu (1698-1755), who was a close-friend and teacher to Situ Panchen. Descending on the right, the first figure is Drung Kunga Namgyal, which is mostly likely to be 4th Zurmang Drungpa (1567-1629). The figure below is Zurmang Chetsang Sungrab Gyamtso, a teacher of Katog Tsewang Norbu. The figure in meditation is Drayang Dao Dutsi, and below that is the 7th Gyalwang Drugchen, Trinley Shingta. The protector deity at the lower left is Legden (Bhagavat) Mahakala.
