About our Thanka
This Gold Style Lokeshvara thangka is a magnificent piece of Tibetan Buddhist art, featuring Lokeshvara (Avalokiteshvara), the bodhisattva of compassion, prominently in the center. Distinguished by its extensive use of gold, the thangka radiates a divine and luminous appearance. Lokeshvara is depicted in a serene and compassionate form, with multiple arms and heads, symbolizing his ability to reach out to all beings in need. Surrounding Lokeshvara are other significant deities: White Tara, Shakyamuni Buddha, Green Tara, Manjushri, and Vajrapani. White Tara, associated with compassion and longevity, is depicted with her characteristic white complexion and seven eyes, symbolizing her vigilance. Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha, is shown in a serene expression, sitting in the lotus position and making the earth-touching gesture (bhumisparsha mudra). Green Tara, known for her swift action and protection, is portrayed in a dynamic posture ready to respond to devotees' prayers. Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom, holds a sword and a book, symbolizing the cutting of ignorance and the acquisition of pearls of wisdom. Vajrapani, the protector and guide of the Buddha, is shown wielding a vajra (thunderbolt), representing his power and determination. The gold accents highlight the divine nature of these figures, creating a luminous and sacred atmosphere. The deities' intricate detailing and vibrant colors contrast beautifully with the gold, enhancing the overall visual impact.
This thangka serves as a religious art and a meditative aid, helping practitioners visualize and connect with these enlightened beings. The Gold Style Lokeshvara thangka, with rich symbolism and exquisite artistry, is a treasured object of devotion and a stunning example of Tibetan Buddhism.

How does Thangka benefit us?
It goes without saying that every detail of a painting has a symbolic meaning. Regardless of your religious affiliation, a thangka can help you on your path to enlightenment, whether you practice Buddhism or have other religious convictions. Thangkas are paintings that depict deities with various iconographic elements and symbolism that encourage meditation on the teachings of the god they depict. 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.
