What is Thangka? • A thangka, also known as tangka, thanka or tanka is a painting on cotton, or silk appliqué, usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala. • The thangka is not a flat creation like an oil painting or acrylic painting but consists of a complex subject. • Generally, thangkas last a very long time and retain much of their luster, but because of their delicate nature, they have to be kept in dry places where moisture won't affect the quality of the painting. • The Thangkas serve as important teaching tools depicting the life of the Buddha, various influential lamas and other deities and bodhisattvas. • The Thangka, when created properly, performs several different functions. Images of deities can be used as teaching tools when depicting the life (or lives) of the Buddha, describing historical events concerning important Lamas, or retelling myths associated with other deities. • The Devotional images act as the centerpiece during a ritual or ceremony and are often used as mediums through which one can offer prayers or make requests. -All our paintings are original hand- painting, written (painted) on handmade cotton canvas by expert artists. - Actual color of the paintings may vary slightly due to light conditions during photo shooting and computer screen resolution. -Pictures in-person look better than photographs. -The size of the painting does not include the outer border - All the Paintings will be safely packed inside a PVC Tube to ensure safety during transportation. -Import Duties, taxes, and other charges (if any) at destination countries are of buyers' responsibility
