The entire Thangka, including of Guru Rinpoche and the intricate background details, would be meticulously painted or embossed with pure gold, creating a luminous and ethereal effect. The gold would symbolize the purity and transcendence of Guru Rinpoche's wisdom and teachings, as well as the preciousness of the spiritual path.
This is not only a stunning work of art but also a potent object of devotion and meditation, believed to radiate blessings and positive energy to those who behold it. Due to the rarity and labor-intensive nature of creating a Thangka entirely in pure gold, such pieces are highly prized and cherished by collectors, Buddhist practitioners, and spiritual seekers alike.
