Dorje Legpa Ra-shon. Dark blue and wrathful in appearance, with one face and two hands he holds aloft a gold vajra in the right hand. The left placed at the side holds a bead mala. Atop the head is a broad rimmed gold monastic riding hat. Wearing long flowing robes and seated atop a light brown goat with twisted horns, he is surrounded by seven dark blue attendant figures.
At the top center is a figure similar in appearance to Padmasambhava. Four Gelugpa lamas wearing monastic robes and yellow pandita hats sit at the right and left sides.
