Palden Lhamo, revered as a fierce protector, is known for shielding practitioners from spiritual obstacles. In her depiction, she rides a horse across a sea of blood, symbolizing her triumph over negativity, and carries the flayed skin of her son — a reminder of her unyielding commitment to dharma and willingness to make significant sacrifices for the benefit of the Dharma. Two fearsome attendants flank her sides, reinforcing her role as a guardian of the teachings. Her terrifying appearance, matched by her attendants' fierce expressions, serves to intimidate and ward off harmful forces. In her left hand, she holds a kapala (skull cup), representing the consumption of negativities and impurities, while her right hand wields a staff, symbolizing her authority and power to subdue evil. The horse she rides bears a watchful eye on its rump, a sign of heightened vigilance against danger from all directions. A fiery halo encircles her, signifying her unstoppable energy and the burning away of ignorance.

Palden Lhamo, one of Tibetan Buddhism's most respected protectress goddesses, is noted for her terrifying and formidable appearance. She represents the strong devotion to protect the Dharma as the female guardian of Lhasa's famed Jokhang Temple. Her image is frequently invoked for courage in conquering spiritual and material problems, and she is particularly revered as a protector against evil and a supporter of just causes. Her ferocious appearance in this statue is not only a tribute to her protective strength, but also an encouragement for spiritual resilience and unflinching perseverance.
