Each artwork is an affordable hand-painted thangka from Nepal, crafted by skilled artists trained in traditional Himalayan art.

Who Are the Dakinis?

In Vajrayana Buddhism, Dakinis are celestial sky-goers, divine embodiments of wisdom, and protectors of esoteric teachings. These enlightened beings represent the dynamic and transformative aspects of feminine energy. Their presence is essential in advanced tantric practices, serving as guides, catalysts for awakening, and symbols of unconditioned awareness.

Our collection honors this sacred feminine force through a diverse selection of Dakini thangkas, featuring powerful deities like:

Vajrayogini – The Queen of the Dakinis

Often considered the most revered and advanced tantric deity, Vajrayogini is the embodiment of ultimate wisdom and bliss. Her red body symbolizes the power of passion transformed into liberation. Our Vajrayogini thangkas capture her fiery presence, perfect for practitioners of highest yoga tantra.

Vajravarahi – The Sow-Faced Dakini

An emanation of Vajrayogini, Vajravarahi is recognized by her distinctive sow head near her ear, symbolizing the subjugation of ignorance. She is revered for her role in Chöd practices and in clearing obstacles on the path to enlightenment.

Machig Labdron – The Tibetan Yogini of Chöd

One of Tibet’s most celebrated female masters, Machig Labdron was the founder of the Chöd lineage. Her thangka depictions emphasize her fearless demeanor and radiant wisdom, offering a source of deep inspiration for contemporary practitioners.

Kurukulla – The Dakini of Magnetizing Power

The captivating Kurukulla dances with her bow and arrow made of flowers, symbolizing her power to magnetize and attract spiritual resources and harmony. Her vibrant red form and lotus throne are beautifully captured in our carefully detailed paintings.

Namgyalma – The Long-Life Dakini

Known for granting longevity and purifying karma, Namgyalma (Ushnisha Vijaya) is revered in both Tibetan and Mongolian Buddhist traditions. Her multi-armed form and serene presence bring peace and protection to any space she graces.

Ushnisha – The Crowned Wisdom Deity

Ushnisha Dakini, often conflated with Namgyalma in certain traditions, represents the victorious crown of the Buddha’s wisdom. Her thangkas are designed with intricate iconography, emphasizing purity and transcendence.

Prajnaparamita – The Mother of All Buddhas

A personification of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras, Prajnaparamita is the Great Mother who births all Buddhas through her boundless wisdom. Her thangkas are revered as visual representations of the Heart Sutra and other Prajnaparamita teachings.

Saraswati – The Goddess of Art, Music, and Wisdom

While widely venerated in both Hindu and Buddhist traditions, Saraswati holds a special place in the hearts of artists and scholars. Our thangkas depict her gracefully playing the vina, inspiring creative expression and eloquence.
