Guru Rinpoche Thangka | Tibetan Painting

Thangkas are traditional Tibetan Buddhist paintings that typically are rendered on cloth and typically feature depictions of deities, enlightened beings, mandalas, or legendary Buddhist tales. Highly esteemed and respected in their culture, these works of art are regarded as sacred objects in Tibetan Buddhism.

In Guru Rinpoche Thangka , Guru Rinpoche is shown in seated pose at the thangka's center. He is frequently shown with a serene expression on his face and a nice grin. He is dressed in opulent, colorful robes and wears a crown or headpiece to symbolize his enlightenment. Guru Rinpoche's hands are often depicted in symbolic gestures, such as bestowing blessings or holding a vajra, and his left hand may be holding a skull cup, scripture, or ritual implement.
