The statue arrived super fast and very well packed. The vibe in my apartment changed immediately into something deeply calming and soothing. As if all the tensions and anxieties have melted. Can’t believe just how majestic he looks. I was already deeply moved by the photo, but when I see the statue with my own eyes…It feels as if Manjushri is right there, with infinite compassion in his infinite wisdom. May all sentient beings be benefitted and realize their true nature.???
Shakya Handicraft is the best Dharma shop I have dealt with in all my life. I thought this thangka was beautiful when I saw it online, and it is even more beautiful in reality. The colours, the quality, the care in the detail are excellent. The thangka was also packaged very nicely and attentively, and it arrived home in perfect shape. It also took less than a week to arrive, which is much, much quicker than expected. The customer service I receive from Amogh from Shakya Handicraft was excellent; he treated me very lovingly and honourably like a member of his own family, answered my many questions on the product and much more, and he remained in contact with me until the thangka arrived home. I feel very grateful and happy to have received this wonderful exceptional service. Amogh also brocaded and blessed this beautiful thangka upon my request (with an additional small fee, which was very low compared to the quality of the work performed and inconceivable benefits of having the thangka blessed). I highly recommend Shakya Handicraft to everyone; genuine, loving, kind people and of course excellent quality. May Shakya Handicraft be always blessed and prosperous!
Love this shot. Always in such awe every time i order something. Beautiful and amazing quality items. Alein Holin Henderson, NV, USA Reviewed by Aleina Holin on Etsy on Mar 12, 2018
Beautiful rug. High quality product. Delivery exceptional considering it was posted from Nepal. Amogh (shop owner) was very helpful and patient when I ordered this and was ready to answer my many questions. Buying on line from a supplier so far away may concern you but don’t worry. This shop is very reliable and products are high quality. I am already ordering again as can’t match price or quality in the U.K.

In essence, A thangka is a Tibetan Buddhist painting that serves as a visual representation of Buddhist teachings and deities. The main purpose is to use it as a meditation tool and a means of conveying spiritual concepts. It is often called Tibetan Thangka because it is believed to have originated from Tibet.
How is a thangka made?
Thangkas are Buddhist paintings based on Buddhist philosophy and deities. It is a visual form of storytelling of Buddhist Teachings. So before any thangka can be painted an artist has to decide on which philosophy to story tell. Based on that, further preparation of materials and designs follow.
Tibetan Thangkas are handcrafted by skilled artisans in Nepal(nowadays mostly made in Nepal) using cotton canvas, poster color, 24 k gold paint, stone color and silk brocade. They are Handmade by skilled artisans in Nepal, known for their expertise in traditional Buddhist art.
Buddhist Thangkas are typically made by a single artist, who will first sketch out the design on the canvas. The artist will then use a variety of brushes and paints to create the painting. Thangkas can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to complete.
The process can be divided into the following steps:
1. Preparation of Materials: Thangkas are painted on cotton canvas. The colors that are used are poster color, gold paint, stone color. Also a material to make traditional brocade is chosen.
2. Drawing Process: The painting process involves sketching the design based on the Buddhist philosophy to portray. This can either be a particular Buddhist teachings like Wheel of Life or They can be a Single Deity like Shakyamuni Buddha or They can be group of Deities like 21 Taras.
In addition to that the thangkas can be based on different Buddhist Mandalas. You can check more on this article here -> Art of thangka Painting. Once the design is finalized primary design is sketched. On top of that next phase is to apply layers of colors, and adding intricate details. 24k Gold paint is often used to highlight certain elements.
3. Final step is to mount brocade. Typical traditional silk brocade is mounted to give it a frame to make it unique Buddhist art. Brocade can come in 3 different styles. One is normal silk brocade which is relatively cheaper, second one is Chundi Brocade which is more intricate in design and fabrics used are high quality. The third one is Khadi Brocade. This one is the most expensive one as it depicts the most expensive fabrics and design patterns.
How do I take care of my thangka?
Thangkas should be kept and stored in a cool and dry places where moisture will not affect the quality of the silk. When you are done with displaying or in times when you do not have to display or show it to your visitors or friends it is advised to not keep it in brocade. It should be rolled up and kept safe.They should not be exposed to direct sunlight or moisture. Thangkas can be cleaned by gently dusting or wiping them with a soft cotton cloth.
How do I hang my thangka?
Thangkas can be hung on a wall by a wooden or brass rod with cords or ribbons that is attached to the top of the textile backing or brocade. The rod or stick can then be secured to the wall using nails or hooks. They can also be hung from a ceiling using a cord or chain.
