Namgyalma, also known as Ushnishavijaya, is a revered Buddhist goddess who embodies longevity, purification, and protection. Her three faces tell a story of spiritual insight, obstacle removal, and defense against negativity. The ushnisha crown atop her head marks her enlightened wisdom, while her lotus throne symbolizes purity and spiritual elevation. In her upper right hand, she holds a lotus or Amitabha Buddha, offering blessings of healing and long life. Her lower right hand shows the varada mudrā, a gesture of compassionate wish-granting. With a bow and arrow, she skillfully targets challenges, while the double vajra she carries stands for unbreakable wisdom. The sacred vase she holds brims with the nectar of immortality, symbolizing renewal and lasting vitality. Sitting firmly in vajra posture, Namgyalma shines as a beacon of inner strength, spiritual protection, and the transformative journey toward enlightenment and well-being.
