The thangka depicts the 1762 enthronement of Jampel Gyatso (1758-1804) as spiritual and political leader of Tibet in one of the finest examples of Lhasa high court style painting. The Dalai Lama commands the composition, gazing out with a serene otherworldly countenance while a massed congregation of gods, lay officials, noblemen, monks, mythical animals, mendicants and yogis surround the Snow Lion Throne. Animated scenes of adoration portray foreigners bearing gifts, monks with offerings, Lhasa nobles in traditional costume wearing gold and turquoise ringyen, the ‘ancient jewels’ of Yarlung dynasty kings. Gods and Guardians mingle with the crowd evoking the spiritual and political roles of the Dalai Lama.

The incarnation of the Dalai Lama is depicted above right with a gold line connecting the house of his birth in Thopgyal, Tsang, to an image of his spiritual progenitor, the bodhisattva Sadaksari Avalokitesvara. In clouds above the scene, the Dalai Lama’s teacher Yeshe Gyaltsen (1713-1793) overlooks the ceremony, and the Third Panchen Lama, Lopsang Palden Yeshe (1738-1780), who presided over the enthronement, is portrayed above the Potala Palace at the left: for a detailed discourse on the life of the Dalai Lama see Derek F. Maher, “The Eighth Dalai Lama Jampel Gyatso” in Martin Brauen, ed, The Dalai Lamas: A Visual History, Chicago, 2005, pp. 117-27.

Compare the assembly of adorants in a painting in the Potala Palace of the regent Desi Sangye Gyatso (1653-1705), David Jackson, op. cit., p. 212. Noblemen wearing traditional costume and the gold and turquoise ringyen are depicted in photographs taken in Lhasa between 1936 and 1950 by H. E. Richardson, see Giuseppe Tucci, Transhimalaya, Geneva, 1973, fig. 179.
