Celestial Beings - Final Illustration

Inspired by ancient Sri Lankan mural paintings.

The Four Heavenly Kings are four Buddhist gods, which originates from the Indian version of Lokapalas, each of whom watches over one cardinal direction of the world.

Virūpākṣa of the west direction, king of nāgas.
Virūḍhaka of the south direction, king of kumbhāṇḍas.
Dhṛtarāṣṭra of the east direction, king of gandharvas.
Vaiśravaṇa of the north direction, king of yakṣas.
