Thangka of Ushnishavijaya

Ushnishavijaya is depicted with a central white face, a right yellow face, and a left blue face, framed by a luminous, multi-layered halo and an elaborate arched mandorla filled with intricate floral patterns. She holds various attributes in her eight hands, including a small Buddha image, a bow, and a lasso, while supporting a long staff topped by a parasol. She wears traditional celestial silks, ornate jewelry, and a crown, seated on a pedestal atop a large, multi-petaled lotus flower amidst a stylized landscape of craggy mountains and billowing clouds.

Ushnishavijaya is one of the three principal deities of long life in the Tibetan Buddhist pantheon, originating from the Ushnisha-vijaya Dharani Sutra, which serves as a potent ritual text for prolonging life and purifying negative karma.
