Thangkas are devotional paintings displayed by Buddhists in their homes, monasteries, and temples. The deep red, orange, green, and blue hues are quietly vibrant in this sacred 19th-century Tibetan Thangka. At the painting's center is Samvara, the primary deity of the Chakrasamvara Tantra. Samvara is typically depicted with blue skin, four faces, and a multitude of arms, embracing his partner Vajravarahi. Considered a single entity, the pair's embrace represents the union of eternal bliss and emptiness. The many arms of Samvara each hold a different sacred Buddhist object, as five additional Buddhas grace the outer edges of this Thangka.

These beautiful pieces carefully hand-selected by the team at PAGODA RED, coupled with their unbelievable customer service, make them a must-have for any home.”
