Gyantse Mahasiddha Set

Gyantse (Mahasiddha Murals) | Gyantse (SRG Archive)

The murals of the Eighty Four Mahasiddhas at Pelkor Chode Monastery, Gyantse in the Lamdre Lhakang. These murals follow a unique system of mahasiddhas, because many of the inscribed names cannot be found in either the Abhayadatta, Vajrasana or Buton lists. It is most similar to the Abhayadatta system. Three paintings have been completely damaged: Mahasiddhas 55, 56 and 63, so they are not in the images below.
The final two figures in the mural are Ling Repa the Tibetan teacher, and Shariputra of Bodhgaya (1335-1426).
