Manjushri Thangka Painting is an intricate scroll painting, which is traditional to Tibetan Buddhism and features the wisdom-filled bodhisattva, Manjushri. These artworks are a central part of Buddhist ceremonies, serving as visual aides for meditation, teaching, and sacred rituals. Manjushri is typically depicted as a youthful figure, carrying a sword and a book - the sword symbolizing cutting ignorance and the book representing knowledge.
Manjushri is depicted seated in a reflective pose upon a lotus throne with a radiant aura surrounding him. His right hand bears a sword that symbolizes his resolution to overcome confusion and unawareness. He holds a book or scroll in his left hand to symbolize his knowledge. Furthermore, the artwork is usually enriched with emblematic features such as lotus flowers, heavenly entities, and a decorative backdrop which all represent Manjushri's powers and teachings.
