Tsongkhapa in Buddhist culture is the establisher of the Gelugpa sect, a prominent Vajrayana order to which belong the Dalai Lamas. The glistening golden cap of Tsongkhapa in these Nepalese gilded copper statues is symbolic of the order he founded, known as the Yellow Hats. The three statues from Nepal present the teacher in varied states of enlightened existence. One depicts him with the gesture of turning the wheel of Dhamma, while the other two, show him teaching the Dhamma, with the Vitarka Mudra and a book.
