This framed "Mandala" thangka is hand painted on canvas with 24K real gold. Earthy color tones and touch of gold makes it a stunning piece of artwork.

The square represents this symbolic palace or mind map, which is mentioned in the previous section. Any Mandala will always contain a principle deity it can be painted or symbolized by a lotus flower in the case of the Kalachakra Mandala...
