Black Jambhala is the wrathful form of the wealth deity, dark blue-black in colour, standing amid flames with a skull cup and jewel-spitting mongoose. His fierce appearance expresses the force needed to destroy the inner obstacles, stinginess and greed, that block both prosperity and spiritual progress.

Tantric lineages regard him as especially swift for practitioners facing debt or sudden hardship, and his practice traditionally requires empowerment from a qualified lama. Our artists paint his blazing aureole in deep reds and golds on cotton canvas, following the strict iconometry wrathful deities demand.
