A thangka is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist scroll painting on cotton or silk, typically depicting deities, mandalas, or scenes from scriptures. Designed as a portable aid for ritual and meditation, it's framed with colorful brocade and can be rolled for storage or transport. Rich in symbolic detail, every color, gesture, and object within the thangka carries spiritual significance, serving both as a teaching tool and a visual focus. Originating around the 7th century, thangkas continue to be created today, preserving centuries-old techniques as vibrant expressions of Tibetan religious culture.
