At the top center is Vajrasattva, flanked by Tsongkhapa on the right and white Buddha Vairochana on the left. At the bottom left is a Shambhala King and on the right is the Indian adept, Pandita. Stylistically this work is similar to those painted in the Yonghegong Palace Monastery; see Himalayan Art Resource, item no. 100119 for a closely related example of the same subject.
