Lha’i Gyalpo. (See HAR #74015).

The King Lha'i Gyalpo is surrounded by various additional pre and post incarnations as described in the Kadam Legbam collection of stories of the previous lives of Dromton Gyalwa'i Jungne as written down by Chim Namkha Drag.

The full set of paintings based on approximately five stories per painting would equal to between seven and nine compositions in total.
