Amoghapasha Painting Set

Amoghapasha Register SetA set of four unusual paintings containing the Amoghapasha Dharani and a top register of Deities. The main area of the composition is taken up by the written text of the Amoghapasha Dharani and only the top register of each painting devoted to painted depictions of the Five Deity Amoghapasha Mandala deities. Each of the four top registers have the same five Amoghapasha deities in the center of each of the four compositions. At the far right and left of the four registers there are different deities. All but one of the deities are various forms of Avalokiteshvara. The form that is not Lokeshvara is the goddess that averts epidemics and contagion - Parnashavari.
