Rahula Thangka- Dharma Protector

A Chitipati Thangka is a sacred Tibetan Buddhist painting depicting the Chitipati, a wrathful skeletal deity often portrayed as a dancing couple. This pair represents the Lord and Lady of the Charnel Grounds, symbolizing the impermanence of life and the ultimate truth of death. The Chitipati are usually shown in an ecstatic dance within a circle of flames, signifying the burning away of ego and attachments.

Rahula is one of the Dharma-protectors of the Nyingma Lineage. In Nyingma traditions, Rahula is portrayed with the lower body of a coiled serpent spirit (naga) and the upper body with four arms, nine heads, adorned with a thousand eyes. In the middle of the stomach is one large wrathful face. The face in the belly is actually the face and head of Rahula. The nine stacked heads depicted above are the nine planets that Rahula has eclipsed, or rather literally swallowed, eaten, and now symbolically appear on top of his own face and insatiable mouth. At the crown of the stack of all the heads is the head of a black raven.
