Palden Lhamo

At the right side of the entrance to the Zuu of Buddha, the main and central of the three preserved temples at Erdene Zuu, is a statue of Bandal Lham (Palden Lhamo), a protecting Dharmapala of the teachings of Gautama Buddha in the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. She is the only female among the traditional “Eight Guardians of the Law” and is usually depicted as deep blue in colour and with red hair to symbolise her wrathful nature, crossing a sea of blood riding side-saddle on a white mule.
