Hand-Painted Chitipati Thangka | Lord of the Cemetery | Guardian Deity of Death and Protection
Awaken to impermanence and spiritual awareness with this Chitipati Thangka, a hand-painted sacred artwork by a Nepali master. Made on cotton with natural stone pigments and 24K gold, it radiates depth and energy. Mineral pigments ensure lasting vibrancy, while gold details highlight sacred contours, bringing its dynamic presence to life. Created in the traditional Karma Gadri style, it features a graceful composition, intricate linework, and symbolic storytelling, embodying life's impermanence and the pursuit of spiritual liberation.
This thangka features the Chitipati—dancing skeleton deities—performing a graceful yet commanding dance symbolizing life and death. They are surrounded by a halo of glowing flames that signify the eradication of ignorance and attachment. Each deity is clutching ritual sticks and skull cups that embody transformation and ego-offering. Their skeletal appearance signifies freedom, reminding us of life's fleeting nature and that true liberation comes from acceptance and awareness. The lotus throne illustrates purity overcoming illusion, while the celestial backdrop of clouds and landscapes conveys a sense of sacred vastness and depth.
Every brushstroke in this Chitipati Thangka captures the vibrant balance between life, death, and rebirth. The artwork radiates spiritual power, inviting reflection on the cycle of existence and impermanence. Bring home this thangka to inspire mindfulness, fearlessness, and joy in your spiritual journey.
