The frescoes in Cave 465 of Mogao Grottoes,which illustrate the Upper Tantra as the main theme,have been for a long time the concerns of the scholars.Judging from the deities and their attendants present at the occasion,it is viewed by the author that the subject of the painting is Cakrasamvara,the fivestoried round-wheel structure in the central earth altar is the Mandala(dkyil-vkhor)for him.So accordingly,the most honored Buddha in here is considered to be no other than Cakrasamvara,or more probably,to be Vajravārāhīmore.The representation of the paintings,with the characteristics of the Garyu Sect,broadly centers on Vajravārāhī who is accompanied by several Satyadevata together.
