Thangka of Tibetan Bodhisattva 1000 Armed Avalokiteshvara | Buddha of Mercy and Protection | Featuring Taras, Amitabha Buddha, Manjushri, and Vajrapani
Tibetan Bodhisattva 1000-Armed Avalokiteshvara Thangka, a breathtaking icon of compassion and protection, will transport you to a state of divine peace. Hand-painted on cotton canvas using traditional Himalayan techniques and embellished with acrylic colors and 24K gold accents. Cotton canvas provides a natural, resilient surface that captures precise details, allowing each brushstroke to convey intention and precision. Acrylics offer vibrant color saturation, while 24K gold adds an ethereal glow, especially around magnificent halos, jewels, and intricate ornamentation. This thangka, made in the traditional style known for its precise linework, jeweled hues, and spiritual depth, honors generations of creative and meditation discipline passed down in the Kathmandu valley.
The artwork shows Avalokiteshvara with a thousand arms, each with an eye, symbolizing omniscience and compassion, reaching out to help. His eleven heads, arranged in tiers, represent different levels of wisdom, with the top head being Amitabha Buddha, symbolizing ultimate compassion. Avalokiteshvara's calm face invites inner connection. Around him are White Tara, Amitabha Buddha, Green Tara, Manjushri, and Vajrapani, each with unique qualities: White Tara represents wisdom and longevity, Amitabha embodies infinite light and life, Green Tara offers protection, Manjushri represents wisdom, and Vajrapani possesses the power to remove obstacles. Together, they form a sacred form of compassion, protection, and wisdom that radiates from Avalokiteshvara's thousand arms, based on ancient teachings. It promotes deep inner meditation and serves as a visual dharma for practitioners and devotees alike.
