Zigchen thangka painting is the traditional Tibetan painting of Zigpo Che or Zigchen. Zigchen is also known as "The Immovable Victory Banner" and is a powerful and fierce protector deity in Tibetan Buddhism.
Zigchen or Zigpo Che is associated with the practice of tantra and is considered the embodiment of the Buddha's power. Zigpo Che is typically depicted as a blue-skinned deity with one face and two arms, holding a vajra (a ritual object symbolizing indestructibility) in his right hand and a bell in his left hand in the Tibetan thangka painting.
He is also prortrayed as standing on a prostrate figure, symbolizing his subjugation of the forces of evil. In Tibetan Buddhism, Zigpo Che is considered one of the eight main dharmapalas, or protectors of the teachings, along with Mahakala, Kalarupa, and others. Each of the eight protectors represents a different aspect of the teachings and is invoked in different rituals and practices.
Zigpo Che is particularly invoked for protection and purification, and his practice is said to be highly effective in removing obstacles and negative influences. Practitioners use thangka painting of Zigchen as a meitational aid or used as home decor by buddhist followers. Zigpo Che is also considered as one of the main protectors of the Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhism. His practice is considered a powerful way to achieve spiritual advancement and attain enlightenment.
