This portrait was created for the Riwoche Monastery in eastern Tibet, a branch of the Taklung Monastery, and is intended to invoke the spiritual lineage of the two monasteries. The central figure is not directly named; however, the name Jnanatapa, denoting a famous Indian mahasiddha (a \u201cgreat perfected one,\u201d one of the spiritual fathers of Tantric Buddhism), appears on a veil attached to the painting, and the deity presiding above the central figure is identified as Avagarbha. The official history of the Taklung Monastery records the first abbot of Riwoche Monastery as an incarnation of \u201cthe peerless mahasiddha Jnanatapa,\u201d whose Tantric teacher was Avagarbha, a Bengal siddha.Free picture Portrait of Jnanatapa Attended by Lamas and Mahasiddhas integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
