Sitatapatra | Goddess of The White Parasol Thangka | Hand-Painted Embodiment of Protection and Compassion
The White Parasol Goddess, revered in Vajrayana Buddhism, embodies the ultimate power of protection and the infinite compassion of all Buddhas. She is honored as the Mother of the Buddhas of the Three Times — a divine manifestation who shields beings from ignorance, obstacles, and suffering. Her pure white radiance symbolizes transcendence and wisdom, while her thousand arms represent boundless compassionate action. To contemplate her image is to awaken the fearless awareness that true protection arises from enlightenment itself.
In this thangka, the White Parasol Goddess appears luminous and serene, her body pure white, adorned with a multi-tiered crown symbolizing the supreme wisdom of the Dharma. She holds sacred implements such as the parasol and dharma wheel — the parasol signifying her all-encompassing protection, and the wheel representing the ceaseless turning of wisdom. Beneath her, the six realms of existence — gods, humans, asuras, animals, hungry ghosts, and hell beings — are enveloped in her compassion. The background features auspicious cloud patterns blending Tibetan and Chinese artistic styles, rendered in rich cinnabar and azurite tones that convey both majesty and tranquility.
Hand-painted in Lhasa, Tibet, this thangka is crafted using traditional methods passed down through generations. Natural mineral pigments such as cinnabar, azurite, and malachite are meticulously prepared and layered to create vibrant depth and spiritual luminosity. Every brushstroke is an act of devotion — a transformation of craftsmanship into sacred offering, turning pigment into prayer. The result is not merely a work of art, but a meditative gateway into divine protection.
Created by Lixindi, an officially recognized inheritor of Tibetan intangible cultural heritage, this thangka reflects over thirty years of artistic mastery and spiritual dedication. Known for his precision in form and lifelike expression, Lixindi’s works are said to carry the living energy of the divine — for in thangka tradition, the more lifelike the image, the stronger its spiritual power. His art transcends depiction; it manifests the sacred.
This thangka radiates the White Parasol Goddess’s infinite compassion and protective grace. Whether displayed in your home, shrine, or meditation space, it invites serenity, clarity, and divine shelter. For practitioners, it serves as a symbol of refuge and fearlessness; for collectors, it stands as a luminous union of sacred art and timeless devotion.
“True protection arises from awakened awareness.”
Invite the tranquil power of the White Parasol Goddess — a hand-painted thangka that embodies purity, strength, and boundless compassion.
