Yellow Dzambhala Statue | Tibetan Enlightened and Wealth Deity | Superior Quality

Meet Jambhala: The Enlightened Deity of Fortune and Wealth

“Jam” means “Deity or gathering”. “Bhah” means “gold or wealth”. “La” means “to honor”. “Dzambhala” means “Precious Golden Deity, who gathers or brings the wealth of spirituality or Dharma and material security or accomplishment to our lives”. Wealth also includes auspicious conditions, such as health, attracting helpful people, and other aspects of overall “good fortune.”

Jambhala is often transliterated as Dzambala, Zambala, Zambhala, or Jambala — although to help with pronunciation Jambhala is the closest. In the original Sanskrit, the character is ja or ज.Yellow Jambhala (Tib. Dzambha-la ser-po) is the most popular wealth deity in the Indo-Tibetan Buddhist tradition, and as the ‘Lord of Riches’ he is invoked to bestow wealth upon practitioners. Jambhala is closely related to Kubera and Vaishravana, the yellow Guardian King of the North and Lord of the semi-divine yaksha spirits who traditionally serve as treasure-guardians. As a wealth deity Jambhala frequently appears among the protector deities in the lower area of thangka paintings. Statues of Yellow Jambhala are also employed in wealth rituals, where a hundred-and-eight water offerings are poured over his head whilst Jambhala’s mantra is recited: OM JAMBHALA JALENDRAYE SVAHA.
Jambhala is golden-yellow with the corpulent and pot-bellied bodily form of a yaksha-king, with two eyes and two arms. He is regal, proud, and peaceful, although his face has a slightly frowning expression with two round wide-open eyes, a mustache, a goatee, and a closely-cropped beard. He is adorned with garments of embroidered and multi-colored silks, a garland of heavenly utpala lotus flowers, and golden ornaments of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, armlets, and anklets. He wears an ornate five-jewel crown with half of his sapphire-blue hair bound up into topknots, while the other half hangs freely about his shoulders and back.
