Abagara is one of the eighty-four great achievers in India. He wears a Sakya Banzhida hat (Banzhida means a wise man), wears a cassock, has a python winding around him, sits on the throne of Vajra, and has a seal on his right hand, which is exactly what everyone says. On the upper left of the picture is painted the image of the mother of Kongka, and on the upper right is painted the image of an Indian ancestor. In the lower left corner, the picture of the sinner falling into hell and being punished is drawn, and in the lower right corner, the avatar of the big dark sky, the guardian of the treasure account, is drawn. At the bottom of the Thangka, there is a line of gold written in Tibetan, the main idea of which is: “Practice the good Buddha, see the Vajra Buddha’s mother in person, work with the angry Buddha in the dark sky, and the Vajra is Abagara.”
