His eyebrows and mustaches are red, and his forehead is adorned with a Bodhisattva's crown and precious ornaments. He has a grossly swollen tummy, seated on a king posture with a magnificently crafted halo behind him. His mongoose Nehulay, which he holds in his left hand, is his most distinguishing feature. Nehulay, constantly vomiting precious jewels represents Dzambhala's conquest over the nagas (snakes).

Jambala was born many eons ago in the world known as Hoetzer Jyapa, which means "a hundred light rays." Famines, natural disasters, and wars were unheard of in this region of enormous abundance. In this most fortunate realm, the Buddha Nime Shel spread Mahayoga teachings. Jambala hoped that he would be reborn as a god of wealth throughout this wealthy life, with the noble goal of helping the poor and unfortunate.
