Description
This exclusive Thangka is a hand-painted masterpiece of Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha and founder of Buddhism. Painted on cotton canvas with natural pigments and gold highlights, it is a sacred artwork as well as a meditation tool, created with precision and devotion by skilled Himalayan artisans.
At the center, Shakyamuni Buddha is seated on a lotus throne, his golden body radiating purity and enlightenment. With his right hand extended toward the earth in the Bhumisparsha Mudra, he recalls the moment of victory over ignorance when he attained enlightenment. His left hand rests in meditation, holding a begging bowl, symbolizing simplicity and detachment from worldly desires.
Surrounding him are auspicious motifs, protective deities, and attendants, while above appear the Five Dhyani Buddhas, representing the vast wisdom of the enlightened mind. Rich golden details, lotus flowers, and cloud patterns add both beauty and spiritual depth, making this Thangka a living expression of the Buddha’s blessings.

Service and delivery of this first Mandala I bought from Lucky Thanka was really fast and the updates were brilliant. This Mandala is simply beautiful and I am so pleased with it.
I am very happy with the quality of the seeds and i use it to count my mantra as it has 21 bodhi, which is so difficult to fine else where. Besides that Prateek’s impeccable service and advice is an incentive for me to purchase items from him. I will gladly recommend this website to you.
Great pleasure dealing with Lucky Thangka. Beautiful and well executed pieces. Very responsive and helpful staff. Highly recommended
Great quality heart chakra attuned bowl, fast postage and prompt replies from seller.
