What is a Thangka painting?

The Tibetan word Thangka means an unfolding painting, where the word Thang stands for an unfolding scroll and Ka means a painting. Thangka paintings, as a whole, are a visual representation of Buddhist deities, scenes, or mandalas, painted on silk or cotton canvas. 

In Ritual Thangka, we provide a collection of a variety of Thangka paintings. Every one of our paintings has been hand-picked by our curators. We take great care in scrutinizing all aspects, from the quality of the thangka cloth to its composition, so that you get only the finest quality paintings.

Chakrasamvara Mandala | Buddhist Painting | Newari Style Thangka

Chakrasamvara is the major meditational deities of the mother tantras. Chakrasamvara has four faces and twelve arms. He is blue in color and stands on a sun disc surrounded by a flaming aura of his own radiant wisdom. His hands are crossed in the embracing mudra and hold the vajra and bell symbolic of unified bliss and emptiness. He wears a tiger skin cloth in the manner of an ascetic yogi. On his forehead is the third eye of wisdom and the expression on his face is a mixture of wrath and passion.

Chakrasamvara embraces his red consort who holds a curved knife in her right hand to cut off ego interferences and in her left hand holding a skull cup symbolizes blissful wisdom which is not shown in the thangka.
