His two principal hands hold a skull cup and vajra  cleaver . His legs are bunched together . He wears a garland of fifty severed heads , symbolizing fifty Sanskrit vowels and consonants or seed syllables , and a crown of five skulls , symbolizing his perfection in the wisdom of five Buddhas . His body is deep blue in color , symbolizing his wisdom  which is as vast as space . His two horns symbolize the two truths ; his sixteen legs symbolize sixteen types of emptiness .

Amazed by their customer service and collection. Would definitely recommend them to everyone

Really Great Customer Service and very beautiful thangka collection.

This is a magnificent piece of Buddha Shakyamuni thangka. Masterfully executed in rich, vibrant colors with illuminating detail; The silk brocade frame compliments the painting beautifully and forms a focal point in our praying/meditation room I receive the piece earlier than expected in good shape; and prior to purchase, Rajendra was responding quickly and very helpful in providing high resolution picture for my further evaluation. Thank you Rajendra and surely I will be back again.

I was extremely pleased with the quality of the unique thangka I received, as well as the immaculate brocade. Communication with Ritual Thanka has been a pleasure, and shipping was faster than I could have hoped for. Six stars! :)

This is my second purchase - and it will not be my last. Service is fast and efficient. My first thanka came incredibly well packaged.

Seller was very kind to photoshop up three different brocade options with an image of the paining before purchase. Really helped me choose the brocade that would go best with the painting. I appreciate the time and effort the seller put into getting a perfect match. The tailoring only took 48 hours and the item was sent quickly. Arrived two days ahead of schedule too. A beautiful work of art and a very easeful transaction. Thank you.

Was in touch with seller pre-purchase and the responses were quick, thorough, and very helpful. Item shipped quickly, was very well packaged and arrived two days ahead of schedule. This thangka is gorgeous. Very high quality, detailed. Great seller, great service, and a unique piece of art.
