This thangka depicts the Lords of the Three Families (Rigsum Gonpo), representing the three essential qualities of enlightenment: compassion, wisdom, and power. At the center appears Thousand-Armed, Thousand-Eyed Avalokiteśvara (Chenrezig), the supreme embodiment of boundless compassion. Standing gracefully and radiating serene presence, his many arms and eyes symbolize his limitless ability to perceive the suffering of all beings and to extend compassionate help in countless ways.

To the left is Manjushri (Jampalyang), the bodhisattva of transcendent wisdom, holding the flaming sword that cuts through ignorance and the lotus supporting the Prajñāpāramitā scripture. On the right appears Vajrapani, the embodiment of enlightened power, holding the vajra that signifies indestructible strength and the ability to overcome obstacles.

Together, these three bodhisattvas express the complete path to awakening through the harmonious union of compassion, wisdom, and enlightened power.
