Amitabha, Buddha (Tibetan: o pa me, sang gye, English: the Enlightened One of Immeasurable Light) seated beneath a wish-fulfilling tree.
Various heavenly beings floating on cloud banks against a blue sky shower down auspicious symbols.
Standing on the green lawn below are the Eight Offering Goddesses and the Eight Bodhisattvas lounging in seated postures atop lotus cushions. A host of orange robed monks are gathered along the bottom.
