First, the owner of RitualThanka, Bipin, from whom I purchased the truly incredible quality art work of Samantabhadra and Samantabhadri, was clearly communicative and most helpful in my receiving the custom Thanka, well packaged and very quickly shipped. I plan to work with him in future purchases of these wonderfully 'energetic' pieces of art.
