Zambala, also known as Jambhala, is a deity in Tibetan Buddhism who is associated with wealth and prosperity. He is depicted as a yellow or golden-skinned deity who sits on a lotus throne and holds a mongoose in his left hand and a jewel-spitting trident or a citron fruit in his right hand. Zambala is believed to be a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, the bodhisattva of compassion, and is revered by many Buddhists as a powerful protector and provider of wealth and abundance. He is often invoked through prayers, mantras, and rituals to help overcome financial difficulties and to attain prosperity in both the material and spiritual aspects of life. There are five different forms of Zambala, each with its own specific mantras and attributes, including the white Zambala who is associated with purity and healing, the green Zambala who is associated with activity and success, the black Zambala who is associated with protection and dispelling obstacles, the red Zambala who is associated with magnetizing and attracting wealth, and the yellow Zambala who is associated with increasing wealth and abundance. In Tibetan Buddhism, Zambala is often depicted alongside other deities and figures, such as the Eight Auspicious Symbols, the Seven Precious Jewels, and the Four Heavenly Kings, who are also associated with wealth, prosperity, and protection. Many Tibetan households and businesses have images or statues of Zambala, as well as perform rituals and offerings to honor and appease him.
