Монограмма в нижней части посередине и по правому краю, надпись слева внизу: HIMALAYA

"A beautiful legend tells about the coming era of the Mother of the World".

N. Roerich. The Sacred Watch.

"Throughout the East and the West, there is the image of the Mother of the World, and meaningful appeals are devoted to this high Image. The Great Face is often closed, and under these folds of a veil, shining with squares of perfection, we can see the same Unique Face of the common Mother of the Universe!"

N. Roerich. The Flaming Stronghold.

"The language of the Mother of the World is the same for all cradles... a page of the true East, dedicated to the Mother of the World: "The one who covered her face. She wove the yarn of distant worlds. She is the messenger of the unspeakable. The Lay about the incomprehensible. The giver of the unrepeatable! By your order, the ocean subsides, and whirlwinds draw traits of invisible symbols. The one who covered her face, stands on guard alone, in the radiance of symbols. And nobody will ascend to the top. Nobody will see the power of her twelve symbols. In silence, she wove with her own hands a symbol of light from spirals. She is the leader of those who are going to make a feat. Four angles, the symbol of affirmation, was shown by her as parting wishes to those who dared... A silent order, voiceless, pervasive, irrevocable, indivisible, irresistible, dazzling, generous, indescribable, unique, integral, unspeakable, untimely, urgent, exciting, shown in a lightning."

N. Roerich. Altai – Himalayas.

The work is based on the image of the "Queen of Heaven over the River of Life", sitting on an island similar to the "Pure Land" in Buddhist iconography.
