Above the central figure is the four-armed white figure of Chaturbhuja Avalokiteshvara with Amitabha Buddha in the top floor of the palace. At the base of the rainbow, on either side of the trees, is the blue-skinned Chaturbhuja Mahakala at left and the goddess Tashi Tseringma riding a snow lion at right. The entire scene takes place in the pureland of Padmasambhava.
