The local folklore has it that in Nyainqentanglha there is a mysterious crystal palace. The palace door, inlaid with all kinds of precious stones, is dazzlingly brilliant. The palace itself, with the top surrounded by white clouds and the middle wreathed by colorful mist and light, is floating over the sea of amrita, with colorful fresh flowers flourishing around.

This fair skinned, three-eyed, handsome and princely diety wears a tri-colored dress of satin, the smock laminated with rare stones and pearls.
