The Buddhist deity Lokeshvara, also known as Avalokiteshvara or Chenrezig, is portrayed in a thangka painting with a thousand arms as a "1000-armed Lokeshvara Thangka." As the personification of compassion, Lokeshvara is honored in many Buddhist traditions. The deity is portrayed with many arms branching out from the central figure in a Lokeshvara Thangka, which has a thousand arms. Each arm stands for a particular facet of compassion and the capacity to extend a helping hand to other sentient beings. Although the iconography and symbolism surrounding Lokeshvara's thousand arms vary, they typically stand for the deity's ability to help those in need.

Any thangka is intended to aid in the removal of the film of ignorance, which is a significant barrier to the road to enlightenment. The Thangka is revered as a holy item. They promote positivity, spread Buddhism's teachings, bring about peace, harmony, and oneness, and dispel any negative energy that may be there.
