BUY SERENE TIBETAN BUDDHIST THANGKA PAINTINGS ONLY ON EXOTIC INDIA

Thangka, a style of Tibetan Buddhist Painting is a quintessential juxtaposition of Art and Spirituality. These artworks can serve as fantastic devotional decoration in your home or workplace. But a Thangka is more than a decorative object. It can act as a tool for personal meditation and spiritual instruction. A Thangka painting is, traditionally, kept unframed, and rolled up when not on display.

Thangkas are scroll paintings, usually done on a piece of cloth, like cotton or silk. They come in a wide variety of sizes, but the ones hung inside homes tend to be smaller. The art usually depicts Buddhist deities, scenes from Buddhist mythologies, as well as meditative mandalas. But the broader category of Thangka Artwork also includes ornamental needlework of silk appliques done in the Thangka style.

Thangka art is precise. Intricately symmetric, and highly geometric. A Thangka artist is required to be sufficiently evolved spiritually. To accurately interpret and faithfully render the complex symbolisms buried within the symmetry. Artists have to pass through rigorous training and conditioning, before they are declared fit to practise this art form. They follow a methodical process. Individual figures are drawn in strict proportion to a predesigned set of guidelines. It’s hardly a surprise then that every Thangka is an impeccable piece of a rare and pristine art.

A Thangka Painting is a tool for concentration and prayer. The Vajrayana Buddhists use a thangka of their yidam, their meditation deity, for their meditations. It is believed that, if you meditate on a Thangka, you can absorb and internalise its spiritual qualities. Every home should have a Thangka. If not for its artistic elegance and geometric precision, then for its cleansing spiritual influence and positive vibrations that it can bring to your visual space.

A Thangka is a retelling of the ancient myths. It’s much more than a painting. Like Bhavachakra, the famous Wheel of Life Painting, Thangka Art is full of intricate symbolism and logical allusions. Hanging mutely on your wall, It’s telling you a story. A story that can teach you the Truth of the World. It can show you what you have been missing all along. A story that lovingly encourages you to quiet the noises in your mind, and listen. Listen to the voice of Buddha.
