Tsakali cards, when arranged on the ground as a mandala, create a fixed sacred space like a temple. They show the celestial Buddhas, bodhisattvas, protectors, and, at bottom, the six possible realms of rebirth. Monastic teachers used tsakali cards to align (initiate) a disciple with one of many Vajrayana Buddhist deities. The disciple sought permission from the deity (via dream or supervised by a teacher) and visualized the deity as described in recited mantras and represented on the card.

Compare a related earlier initiation card (tsakalis) depicting Samanthabhadri, Tibet, early 15th century, size 16 x 14.5 cm, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 2000.282.19.
