The Dakini thangkas are by far some of the most popular and sought-after paintings, followed closely by the Wrathful deity thangkas.
Dakini Thangka: The Embodiment of Enlightened Energy in Buddhism
The word "Dakini" means "sky-goer" or "sky-dancer" and is derived from the Sanskrit word "dāk," which means "sky" or "space." A Dakini Thangka is a sacred Buddhist painting that portrays enlightened female wisdom beings such as Vajrayogini, Kurukulla, Simhamukha, Palden Lhamo, and other tantric Dakinis. These thangkas are powerful visual supports for meditation, Vajrayana rituals, and daily spiritual practice. For Buddhist practitioners and collectors alike, a Dakini Thangka holds deep symbolic meaning and is often regarded as an empowering piece for transformation and realization.
