Thangka Paintings

Thangka paintings are traditional Buddhist artworks that depict deities, mandalas, and spiritual scenes on fabric or canvas. Originating in Tibet and Nepal, handmade Thangka paintings are used for meditation, rituals, and as sacred wall art.

Each piece is carefully handcrafted by skilled Nepali artists, often taking weeks or months to complete, using natural pigments, fine brushes, and cotton/silk canvas.
