Rare Hand-Painted Queen Maya Devi Mandala | Buddhist Art

Description

Rare Hand-painted Queen Maya Devi Mandala:

The Antique "Queen Maya Devi Mandala" is a profound artistic portrayal that pays homage to Queen Maya Devi, the revered mother of Gautam Buddha.

At its center, Queen Maya Devi radiates a sense of serenity and grace, embodying her role as the vessel of enlightenment. Surrounding her, delicate lotus petals unfold, representing purity and spiritual growth. The mandala's vibrant colors mirror the spectrum of emotions and experiences that shaped her life.

Queen Maya Devi holds a significant place in Buddhist history as the mother of Siddhartha Gautama, who later became known as Gautama Buddha. One of the most iconic moments in the life of Queen Maya Devi is her divine conception and the miraculous birth of Siddhartha Gautama. According to Buddhist tradition, Queen Maya Devi dreamt of a white elephant entering her womb, symbolizing the conception of a divine child. This event is often depicted in Buddhist art and literature as a central theme.

In the depiction of Queen Maya Devi giving birth in the middle of the mandala, the scene carries profound symbolism. It represents the pivotal moment when Siddhartha Gautama, the future Buddha, entered the world. Queen Maya Devi is often depicted in a standing posture, holding onto a branch of the sala tree for support, as Siddhartha emerges from her side in a miraculous birth.

This depiction symbolizes the transcendence of worldly attachments and the birth of enlightenment. It represents the potential for spiritual rebirth and transformation inherent in every human being. The surrounding lotus petals further emphasize the purity and spiritual growth associated with this miraculous event.

Interestingly, Queen Maya Devi's birthplace, Lumbini, in present-day Nepal, has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It attracts pilgrims and visitors from around the world who come to pay homage to the sacred site where Siddhartha Gautama, the future Buddha, was born.

Queen Maya Devi's story is not only a testament to the divine potential within every individual but also a reminder of the sacredness of motherhood and the profound role of women in the spiritual journey. Through her courage, devotion, and unwavering faith, Queen Maya Devi embodies the timeless virtues of compassion, wisdom, and spiritual awakening.

    I received the thangka very quickly in beautiful condition. It was very carefully wrapped in multiple protective layers, many thanks to Enlightenment Thangka for their care. The thangka itself is beautifully done, printed on canvas with meticulous attention to detail. Very much looking forward to getting it framed and on the wall!

    I had a wonderful experience buying a Thangka from Enlightenment Thangka. The quality of their products is top-notch, delivery was quick, the staff were very friendly, and the packaging was excellent. I highly recommend them and am already looking forward to placing my next order.

    Such a beautiful thangka. It carries many blessings. The image itself is masterfully painted with great devotion. The brochade fabric quality is incredibly high and it is sewn with great skill and care. The thangka on the left was also purchased from “Enlightenment Thangka” a couple of years ago and it is also of this same high quality as the Guru Rinpoche in the right. I cannot recommend these people enough. Beautiful devoted work.

    Is a long waiting lesson I’ve been looking forward. For someone totally new, this is really an amazing experience to explore your hidden talent in Thangka drawing. I’m grateful the Enlightenment Thangka team’s great coordination to make this happened, the Thangka master, Nyam la that patiently guided me through my journey. He was very patience to explain every single line during the lesson, he puts things in a very simple way, never rush on me. Yet, he spent time to looking into my drawing upon my submission. He also sending back his feedback in details to further guiding me to perfect the drawing line.

    The master and team encouragements truly keeping my momentum to perfecting my drawing. This amazing journey had let me experiencing my inner peace, the hidden talent I’ve never knew, part of my spiritual journey. I will definitely will keep continuing my journey with them in future to fulfill my dream.

    Sharing my in progress Thangka artwork. ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཆེ། 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Very nice and warm shopping experience. The statue is firmly packed and protected during transport. Looking forward to my next order!

    Although Tangton Gyalpo is a major Lama, it is not easy to find tankhas depicting him. This one is just perfect.

    Excellent service and beautiful products!

    Excellent service and beautiful products!

    Magnifique Thangka ! Un excellent support pour ma pratique, cette thangka est très inspirante. Les dimensions impressionnante 2,40m x 1,60 donnent beaucoup force à l'ensemble !
    Service client au top et livraison super rapide ! Merci !

    It arrived today and exceeded all expectations. It's perfect!

    Quality brocade. Intricate design and mounted well. This silk weave has the heavier, sturdier, “rougher” feel to it than its smoother, shinier sibling.

    Personally, this experience has been a memorable one as I've got to learn from an actual thangka master and teacher himself. The entire three day experience has been nothing short of mesmerizing and sacred. If your intuition is calling you to pursue this, please do not pass off this special opportunity to learn from the one of the sources of authentic thangka painting for this experience is a heartwarming one.

    Amazingly beautiful brocade!

    very beautiful and made of quality material.

    Beautiful thangka...you did a good job, you have to see it to believe it.
    The delicate lines, the refreshing colors are just incredible. A thangka that represents us corresponds to the name of the refuge that a very GREAT master gave us

    Hi Neelam,
    Thank you for the email AND I apologize as the Thanka has not arrived yet! Looks like it is in Bahrain waiting to move or has already left Bahrain and is headed to SF. Will let you know when it is delivered!

    Beautiful, high-quality print, at a modest price, free and fast delivery. Kind of perfect, overall. Thank you!
