#Vajradhara, #Buddha (Tibetan: dor je chang, sang gye. English: the Vajra Holder, Enlightened One). The primordial buddha, personification of the #dharmakaya - truth body of #enlightenment  and progenitor of the #vajrayana  system of #Buddhism.  A common theme in Tibetan painting is to depict in one composition the Buddha Vajradhara surrounded by the Eighty-four #Indian-adepts (#mahasiddhas). Often they would be arranged, or crowded, into one painting and occasionally divided between three, five or nine paintings. In the 18th and 19th centuries sets with three and four mahasiddhas per painting were #commissioned. From #Palpung #Monastery came many new compositions with a varied number of mahasiddhas depicted in the composition.
