Tibetan Tankha

A Tibetan Thangka is a traditional, hand-painted or embroidered scroll artwork that depicts Buddhist deities, scenes, or mandalas. Often created on silk or cotton, Thangkas serve as meditation aids, teaching tools, or offerings. They feature intricate details and vibrant colors, reflecting spiritual themes and iconography. Thangkas are usually framed with ornate covers and are displayed during religious ceremonies or used privately for meditation. Their detailed craftsmanship embodies the rich spiritual and artistic traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, helping practitioners focus their minds and deepen their understanding of Buddhist teachings.
