The 8th Tai Situ, Chokyi Jungne
In the center of the composition is Situ Panchen Chokyi Jungne (1700-1774) holding a text. In the upper left corner is White Tara Wish-Fulfilling Wheel, and next to Tara in the upper right is Ekavira Vajrabhairava (Solitary Hero). The person placed adjacent is Katok Rigdzin Tsewang Norbu (1698-1755), who was a close-friend and teacher of Situ Panchen. The yellow-toned figure next to Situ is Drung Kunga Namgyal, which is mostly likely to be 4th Surmang Trungpa (1567-1629). The figure beneath him is Zurmang Chetsang Sungrab Gyamtso, a teacher of Katok Tsewang Norbu. The figure in meditation is Drayang Dao Dutsi, and below is the 7th Gyalwang Drukchen, Trinley Shingta. The protector deity in the lower left is Legden (Bhagavat) Mahakala
