Dzambhala, (Tibetan:  Namtotse) the guardian of the North.  He represents the deity of wealth.  He’s the manifestation of the Yellow Buddha, Ratnasambhava.  He’s shown seated on a roaring lion, placed on a lotus base.  He’s golden yellow in color and he has a stern expression.  He has two hands; the right holds a banner of victory, while the left arm holds a mongoose, establishing him as the deity of wealth.  Jewel’s offering has been shown in front of him.  He is wearing a five-pronged crown, symbolic of the Five Transcendental Buddhas.  His hair is upswept in a knot with a jewel on it.  His open eyes, frowning eyebrows, upturned lips, mustache, and beard are all painted.  He wears a long and flowing scarf.  The ornaments of the deity include necklaces, armlets, and bracelets.  Dzambhala has a snake around his body.  In spite of adornment, he is bare to the waist, and his legs are covered by a dhoti (skirt).
