Thangka Art
Thangka art is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting practice that serves as both a sacred art form and a spiritual tool. Created on cotton or silk, thangkas usually depict Buddhas, bodhisattvas, deities, mandalas or important spiritual scenes and are used for meditation, teaching and ritual purposes. Unlike murals they are scroll paintings designed to be rolled up and carried making them highly portable for monks and practitioners.
Each thangka follows a strict system of proportions and grids to ensure harmony and symbolic accuracy with every gesture posture and colour holding deep meaning. Traditionally artists use natural pigments derived from minerals, plants and even gold and the process of painting itself is considered a form of meditation and devotion. Beyond their intricate beauty, thangkas embody profound spiritual symbolism connecting the viewer to Buddhist philosophy and practice.
