In the depiction of the Tibetan lunar calendar, a nuanced layering of symbolic elements of cultural, religious, and astrological significance. At the center, the presence of the Chhepu id introduces an astrological dimension, likely representing auspicious symbols or celestial configurations crucial in guiding the Tibetan community. These symbols may play a pivotal role in determining propitious dates for various activities and events, aligning with the nuanced practices of Tibetan astrology.
Moving outward, the layer featuring “Astamangala,” the eight Auspicious Symbols, imparts a distinctly Buddhist essence to the calendar. These symbols are a parasol, a pair of golden fishes, a treasure vase, a lotus, a conch, an endless knot, a banner of victory, and a golden wheel, which signify positive energies and spiritual blessings. Their inclusion suggests a concerted effort to infuse the passing lunar months with auspiciousness, aligning daily life with the profound symbols intrinsic to Buddhist practice.
On the next layer, the twelve zodiac signs are engraved which include Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig reflecting the astrological dimensions of Tibetan astrology.
