Hand-painted Thangka with Tibetan Mantras
A thangka is a traditional Tibetan painting depicting Buddhist deities, mantras or mandalas. This thangka was hand painted by a Tamang artisan from the Lama family in Himachal Pradesh, in the Himalayan region of Northern India. The Tamangs (རྟ་དམག་/तामाङ), originate from Nepal and speak a Tibeto-Burman language that shares much of its vocabulary with Tibetan. The Lama family are Tibetan Buddhists and regularly seek audience with His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama in McLeodganj, Dharamsala, or visit the Tibetan Buddhist stupas of Swayambhunath and Boudhanath in Kathmandu.
This thangka depicts mantras written in Tibetan script in metallic gold. A mantra is chanted or spoken aloud or silently in order to connect with deeper layers of consciousness. Mantras are often transmitted from deities and bodhisattvas in texts such as the sutras.
Thangkas sold by Jordan Quill are ethically sourced from the Lama family, who have been thangka painters for many generations. They now Live between McLeodganj, India, to be close to the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people, and Kathmandu, Nepal. Steeped in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, these paintings are made with the love, care, and attention of this incredible family.
In working closely with this family of Tibetan Thangka painters, Jordan Quill hopes to encourage the continuation of this traditional artform for the next generation, as well as the use of high-quality materials and techniques.
Please note, this thangka is supplied unframed, any mount shown in the images is for illustrative purposes only and is not supplied owing to postage.
