Tibetan Thangka:

In Tibetan Buddhist art, a thangka means a "recorded message" or scroll. Traditionally done on silk or cotton, these scrolls are packed with deities, mandalas, and scenes that serve as visual blueprints for meditation and enlightenment. Originating in Tibet around the 11th century, thangkas were the go-to tool for monks to spread Buddhist teachings to nomadic communities. Every detail follows strict iconographic rules, so each tiny figure is like a tiny, wise professor dropping a lesson on you. Passed down through generations of thangka masters, these artworks carry not only spiritual significance but also the rich cultural heritage of Tibet.
