Buddha Shakyamuni Thangka is depicted seated in the lotus position, a symbol of peace and enlightenment, atop a lotus throne. His right hand is in the earth-touching mudra, symbolizing the moment of his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, when he called upon the earth as his witness to vanquish the forces of Mara, the lord of illusion. His left hand rests in his lap, holding a bowl, representing renunciation and the life of simplicity and meditation that leads to liberation from suffering.

“All the elements of a Tibetan religious painting have a symbolic value. These symbols serve as aids to developing inner qualities on the spiritual path. The deities themselves are regarded as representing particular characteristics of enlightenment. For example, Manjushri embodies wisdom, and Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig) embodies compassion. Paying respect to such deities, therefore, has the effect of paying respect to wisdom and compassion, which in turn functions as an inspiration to acquire those qualities within ourselves.” - Dalai Lama from “The Mystical Arts of Tibet”

For the Followers of Buddhism and Dharma: Thangka art is a sacred form of Buddhist art that preserves and shares the teachings of the Buddha, and guides people towards Dharma.

Follows Correct Iconography and Traditions: We source thangkas from artists with decades of experience crafting high-quality paintings, following millennia-old tradition and correct iconography.

100% Authentic and Handmade Thangka: All our thangka paintings are authentic and hand-painted, made by local artists following careful planning to produce very intricate details.

Eco-Friendly and Natural Ingredients: These Buddhist paintings are made from all-natural ingredients and natural color pigments.

Rich History and Civilization of the Himalayas: Thangka paintings are more than artwork; they are the living embodiment of the rich cultural and religious heritage of the Himalayas. This piece of heritage is sought out by cultural admirers and history lovers.

Bring the Blessings on Your Home: Having a thangka is believed to bring in the blessings of various deities and help you in your spiritual journey.

Thangka Helps You in Meditation: Mandala thangka paintings, such as the Kalachakra Mandala, act as a focus point and help you achieve a meditative state faster.
