印度

位於印度喜馬偕爾邦司丕提(Spiti, Himachal Pradesh)塔波寺(Tabo Gompa)大經堂正後方,為大經堂金剛界曼荼羅布局之主尊。該像最獨特之處,是以四尊背對背而坐的造像代表一尊大日如來,而不似一般大日如來造像呈一身四面相。四尊像均白色身相,臉塗金。戴寶冠,圓臉,面貌莊嚴。肩寬腰細,佩戴珠串瓔珞。袒上身,下圍腰布,妝彩。手結說法印,趺坐於一大型仰覆蓮座上,仰蓮二重,覆蓮三重,蓮瓣以不同顏色相間配襯。蓮座下為雙層束腰台座,平面呈方形,上層束腰處每面均彩繪雙獅。
 四尊像背部固定於中央圓柱,由支架隔開。橫架上原置有摩竭魚,今僅存尾巴。中央圓柱連接天花板,於如來頭部上方四面各飾一座喇嘛塔,塔下有蓮花托座;塔上四方位均飾一獅面獸,齜牙咧嘴,口吐珠串和巾帶。整體作品以彩繪表現細節,著色鮮豔富麗。
