Sacred Rahula Thangka | Fierce Guardian of the Dharma | Featuring Samantabhadra and Nagkanya
Discover the powerful presence of Rahula in this thangka, painstakingly hand-painted on fine cotton canvas using vibrant acrylic colors and adorned with 24K gold. A skilled Nepali artist has meticulously created this sacred artwork in the traditional style, paying close attention to sacred proportions and esoteric symbolism. The canvas is first prepared with a smooth gesso base, enabling precise brushwork. Acrylic pigments bring rich saturation to the vibrant reds, oranges, and greens, while subtle touches of pure gold add a divine glow to the deity’s ornaments, flames, and cosmic features. The overall quality is outstanding, making this thangka both a meditative aid and a spiritual treasure.
At the center of this thangka is Rahula, the fierce guardian of esoteric teachings in Tibetan Buddhism. With his vivid blood-red body and numerous eyes and mouths, he represents his all-seeing power and ability to consume spiritual obstacles. His snake-like form features a snake's lower body and a fierce face on its stomach, which absorbs negative energies. He has nine stacked heads, each emitting an intense awareness.
Rahula is surrounded by a blazing aura of fire, representing the incineration of delusion and negativity. Above him, Samantabhadra, the primordial Buddha, represents the unity of wisdom and emptiness. Nagkanya, the serpent maiden deity, makes ritual offerings at the bottom, representing the offering of worldly and elemental forces in service to the enlightened protector. This spiritually potent depiction is ideal for practitioners of Vajrayana Buddhism, collectors of sacred art, or anyone seeking to bring the protective force of Rahula into their space.
