Paldan Lhamo, one of Tibetan Buddhism's most respected protectress goddesses, is noted for her terrifying and formidable appearance. She represents the strong devotion to protect the Dharma as the female guardian of Lhasa's famed Jokhang Temple. Her image is frequently invoked for courage in conquering spiritual and material problems, and she is particularly revered as a protector against evil and a supporter of just causes. Her ferocious appearance in this statue is not only a tribute to her protective strength, but also an encouragement for spiritual resilience and unflinching perseverance.
