There are different iconographic forms of Chidul with different names, consorts and traditions. All three of the figurative examples below have slightly differing iconography one from the other. The two modern paintings belong to the known Bon traditions from Rebkong and Khyungpo. The earlier painting can be generally identified based on stylistic elements as originating in the Amdo Ngaba region of present day Northern Sichuan Province.
