Saraha, the arrow maker, from the group of Eighty-four Mahasiddhas of Tantric 'Vajrayana' Buddhism, surrounded by 40 other mahasiddhas. This composition is number two in a three painting set depicting all of the siddhas according to the Vajrasana system. The central image and painting would depict the primordial Buddha Vajradhara.
