Palden Lhamo thangka

Palden Lhamo (Tib. དཔལ་ལྡན་ལྷ་མོ་, Wyl. dpal ldan lha mo ; Skt. Shri Devi) is one of the main Dharmapalas of Tibetan Buddhism and of Tibet. Paldn Lhamo is one of the main principal female Wisdom Protectors of Himalayan and Tibetan Buddhism.

Within the Gelugpa, she is strongly associated with the Dalai Lama Incarnation Line and with the Panchen Lama Incarnation Line. Palden Lhamo is also related to the Lhamo Lhasto lake, in Dakpo. Over the years, many of the Dalai Lamas and their regents went to practise around this lake in order to receive visions and indications.
