    Is Jambala the same deity as the dharmapala Vaishravana?

      No, in Vajrayana Buddhism Jambhala & Vaishravana are different entities and deity categories. They are different from each other. They both share the same function category of Wealth Deity.

      Striking similarities to Vaishravana. The mongoose stands out for one. Plus the association with wealth. Is Kubera a possible prototype?

      NO. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jambhala & en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubera will tell you more. Jambhala is Buddhist, Kubera is Hindu. Jambhala is considered a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara. Kubera is not. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vai%C5%9Brava%E1%B9%87a gives details about the directional guardian & wealth deity, who is NOT a Yaksha like Jambhala & Kubera.

      Jambhala and Kubera are two different deities in Tantric Buddhism. Jambhala is a popular wealth deity on his own or sometimes with a consort such as Vasudhara. Both Jambhala and Kubera are found as attendant deities for the protector deity Vaishravana in his lion riding iconographic form accompanied by eight horsemen. Kubera can only be found as a minor attendant deity in Buddhist Tantra.

    Is jhambala and lord ganesh the same god?

      Nope. From different religions. Genesh is shiva’s son. Buddhists don’t talk about Consciousness/Void, and therefore no Shiva. Jambhala is Buddha’s disciple. It is said to be more similar to Kubera in Hinduism but I’m not sure.
