Ksitigarbha | Tibetan Bodhisattva of Mahayana Thangka Painting
Ksitigarbha is a Mahayana transcendent Bodhisattva. This Thangka was painted in the Karma Gadri style by our artist. He sits atop the moon disc on a lotus seat in a serene and peaceful expression. His face is illuminated by a light crimson aura that engulfs him. The offering is on top of a lotus leaf that appears to be floating on water.

Note: Ksitigarbha Thangka is an original painting from Enlightenment Studio located at Boudha Stupa.
In East Asian Mahayana Buddhism, Kitigarbha is one of the four principal bodhisattvas. He is usually represented with a shaved head and monk's robes in Buddhist iconography. He bears a tear-shaped jewel in his left hand and a Khakkhara in his right, which is meant to warn insects and tiny animals of his approach so that he does not hurt them accidentally. He is frequently depicted standing on a lotus base, representing his liberation from the cycle of rebirth. Kitigarbha's face and head are idealized for his elongated ears and other buddha characteristics.
