Yellow Jambhala sits on a lotus, sun disk and moon disk. The Buddha is yellow which stands for restraint and nourishment. The color yellow actually was previously associated with the color worn by criminals but was chosen by the Buddhist faith as a symbol of humility and separation from a materialistic society.
In Tibetan Buddhism, Yellow Jambhala (Duowen Tianwang) is yellow and sits in a half-lotus posture. He wears a gold crown adorned with precious gemstones and gemstone chains on his body. His round face appears prosperous and slightly fierce. His right hand holds a pomelo -shaped treasure object and his left hand holds a treasure-spouting mongoose, which can spout unlimited treasure.
In Mahayana Buddhism, Jambhala is the god of riches and the guardian of the northern direction. He is the Buddhist equivalent of Kubera, the ancient nature spirit (yaksha) absorbed in early Hinduism as the protector of jewels and other treasures.
His mantra is: Om Jambhala Jalendraye Svaha.
