An absolutely phenomenal thangka: among the highest quality thangkas I've been blessed to acquire. The quality of the painting is truly stunning, and the brocade is also of the highest order. A joy to receive! The seller is also very kind, attentive, and helpful. All around a pleasure to support this shop, and I look forward to purchasing from them again in the future!

Chinnamastā (छिन्नमस्ता, “the beheaded”):—The fifth of the ten Mahāvidyās. She represents the Power (śakti) of the Sacrifice. She rules over the Pañchamahāyajña (“five Great-Sacrifices”) that every human is indebted to enforce at every occasion. Those five sacrifices represent the continual expressing of gratitude to all those who facilitate our existence.
