Notes about the Central Figure
Classification: Person
Bengar Jampal Zangpo
Identified based on previous examples of Bengar Jampal Zangpo from existing Karma Kagyu golden garland lineage paintings, including HAR #61035. Notice the similarity between these two paintings. As this is a 16th century painting, the later examples from the 18th, 19th and 20th century Karma Kagyu sets are likely copies or inspired by these Namkha Tashi paintings of lineage teachers.
