Wrathful Deity Simhamukha | Fierce Wisdom & Protection | Traditional Nakthang Style
A thangka depicting the wrathful deity Simhamukha is hand-painted on cotton canvas using vibrant acrylics and 24K gold. Created in the traditional Nakthang style, often referred to as “gold on black,” this painting skillfully blends rich gold details with a deep black background, creating a striking and powerful visual effect. The durable acrylic pigments ensure bold, lasting colors, while the 24K gold highlights sacred symbols, emphasizing Simhamukha’s fierce energy and protective presence.
Simhamukha, the Lion-Headed Dakini, is a wrathful female deity honored in Vajrayana Buddhism for her fierce compassion and her ability to transform obstacles and opposing forces. In this depiction, she dances lively atop a lotus seat, wielding a curved knife with a vajra handle and a trident. These symbols represent the cutting away of ignorance and attachments. Her crown of skulls, garland of fresh heads, and skull cup reflect her protective nature. Additionally, the sun disc and lion head symbolize radiant spiritual strength. This thangka serves as a powerful meditation aid and an eye-catching piece of devotional artwork, inviting strength, protection, and transformative energy into the practitioner’s spiritual journey.
