About Thangka

Thangka is a painting on cotton clothing which usually portray a deity of Buddhism. Thangkas are hung around monasteries and homes to represent Buddha's teachings, as well as for decoration. Many people use  thangkas as aids in meditation and prayer through the visual representation of a deity.

Thangka, also known as a paubhas (meaning “message from the temple”), is an intricate and very detailed painting depicting different gods and deities. There are countless gods or deities in Tibetan-Buddhism, and therefore, thangka paintings can represent a myriad of different stories. It is also called the roadmap to enlightenment.
