Depictions of deoties with rainbow colors or rainbow lights on their surface have a specific spiritual meaning in Buddhist symbolism, especially in Tibetan Buddhism. The Buddha manifests himself as a being of light, a symbol of the dissolution of material appearance into pure consciousness and emptiness. The rainbow is also considered a symbol of enlightenment.

Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava reveals himself in the form of a rainbow. According to Esoteric meditators, when they tried to recall the image of Padmasambhava during meditation, they would sometimes see in their imagination the master turning into a rainbow.
