Budha jayanti vishes :) presenting Thangka... *NOT made by ME* : bought in 2011 from Kathmandu, Nepal. A thangka, also known as tangka, thanka or tanka is a painting on cotton, or silk appliqué, usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala of some sort. The thangka is not a flat creation like an oil painting or acrylic painting but consists of a picture panel which is painted or embroidered over which a textile is mounted and then over which is laid a cover, usually silk. Generally, thangkas last a very long time and retain much of their lustre. ( copied this piece of info from wikipedia ) interested ?? google it ..... now a days this style of painting is exploring other subjects too other than conventional Gautam Budhha jiwan and other monks life stories.
