Visual Summary

Brief Description

A wrathful blue deity with multiple arms and heads tramples figures amidst flames

Detailed Description

A multi-colored painting depicts a large, wrathful blue deity at its center, surrounded by an aura of orange and red flames. The deity has multiple arms, a fierce expression with fangs, and a crown of white skulls. Its dark, curly hair forms a large halo behind its head. The deity is shown in a crouching posture, trampling two prostrate figures lying on their backs below it. One prostrate figure is dark-skinned with dark hair, the other lighter-skinned. Above the central deity, in the upper section of the painting, several smaller figures with calm expressions are depicted. These figures, some wearing robes, are seated on clouds or thrones, often with halos, against a light blue and green background. Smaller figures in active poses, some also with wrathful expressions, are visible in the upper corners amidst swirling clouds. The lower section of the painting features a landscape with stylized water and mountains. Here, numerous smaller, active figures are engaged in various actions. Some have wrathful expressions, holding weapons, while others ride animals such as horses or mythical creatures. Skulls and other small objects are scattered throughout this lower scene. The entire composition is framed by a border with yellow and orange patterns.
