You probably would have been better off posting in the Tibetan section coz, except for the second from the left and the right, the rest are Tibetan.
Basically they are all protective and long life practices. I think the second one from the right (Chinese) may be the Sitatapatra dharani.
The figure on the left is Dorje Gotrab. Then there are two Garuda practices (normally accsociated with protection from disease). I don't know what the next two are. Then there is a lung ta (wind horse) banner for long life/energy. The scorpions trap and hold demonic forces of plagues and infections that may try to harm you.
