Thangkas
Thangkas are intended to nurture your mind toward enlightenment. The meditational deities depicted embody a particular aspect of the fully evolved, enlightened mind. The themes of thangka iconography are fixed by tradition and are based on principles of expression, proportion and detail.These paintings are traditionally executed on cloth with natural pigments made from minerals and plants such as lapis, malachite and cinnabar mixed with a natural binder. The completed paintings are customarily mounted on a silk brocade border.
