About the Item

Thangka painting dates back to 7th century after Buddhism was spread in the Himalayan region (Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet and Northern India). In Eastern world Thangka is considered to be a part of Abhi-Dharma which means "The Art of Enlightenment". It is a scroll painting on canvas. Over the centuries Thangkas gradually acquired the status of collectible fine art from a purely spiritual art. Due to international museum shows and popularity of Buddhism Thangkas in particular are gaining a place on the art world's radar screen. The beauty and power of these intricate paintings are strong enough to stand up aesthetically for any viewer. The concept of the Dakini differs depending upon the text and the tradition. In Hindu tantric literature Dakini is the name of a goddess often associated with one of the six chakras or seven fundamental elements (dhatu) of the human body. In Nepalese and Tibetan Buddhism , Dakini can refer to both what can be best described as fierce looking female embodiments of enlightened energy and to woman with a certain amount of spiritual development both of whom can help Tantric initiates in attaining enlightenment. Dimension with border: 15.75 x 12 inch Dimension without border: 14.5 x 10.75 inch A booklet on Thangka making process will be included with the purchase.
