In Tibetan Buddhism, Namtoshe, also called Jambhala, is the god of wealth and prosperity. He is frequently shown in a wrathful form, indicating his capacity to guard riches and ward off poverty. By bringing financial stability and fostering spiritual growth, he is thought to help those who seek his blessings. Devotees are motivated to foster an attitude of abundance and generosity by honoring Namtoshe, which includes offering money and other valuable items. He is frequently portrayed with a mongoose in his left hand, which spits jewels, signifying inexhaustible riches. His right hand holds a citron fruit, which represents fulfillment and prosperity. To invite the benefits of wealth and generosity into their lives, practitioners chant the mantra "Om Jambhala Hum Phat," which is connected with Namtoshe.
