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.

The stem of this lotus arises from the waves of a dark lake.Lokeshvara's fierce lion is adorned with a crowning jewel, anklets, a collar of little round bells, and a silk saddle-blanket. With his head turned back towards Lokeshvara the lion gazes forward.
Half of his long black hair is bound up into a jewel-crowned topknot, while the other half hangs freely about his shoulders and back.his left hand resting at the level of his hip he holds the stem of white lotus that blossoms at the level of his shoulder.
