Thangka is a Buddhist painting on silk usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala. Shibani Jain, founder, Baaya Design shares simple tips to use this art form.
- Thangkas are traditionally kept unframed and rolled up when not on display, mounted on a textile backing in the style of scroll with a further silk cover on the front.
- This art form often has elaborate compositions including many very small figures. A central ‘deity’ is often surrounded by other identified figures in a symmetrical composition.
- Different Thangka paintings can be put up to create positive vibes, create impacts like noble thoughts to bring in good health and luck, which can be put up in a living room.
- Thangka painting is done on fabric, which is used for meditation and later folded and kept back, but these days, Thangka art is made as a painting which is put up to achieve a contemporary impact.
