Tibetan Thangka

A Tibetan Thangka is a traditional, intricate painting on cloth, often depicting Buddhist deities, mandalas, or spiritual scenes. Used as an aid in meditation and teaching, Thangkas serve both artistic and devotional purposes, often crafted with detailed symbolism and vibrant colors. They are created with precise techniques, sometimes including mineral pigments and gold leaf, and can be rolled or framed for easy transport and display. Thangkas are considered sacred objects that embody spiritual teachings, helping practitioners focus their mind and deepen their understanding of Buddhist philosophy.
