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.
 
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
