Original 6-Arms Vasudhara Thangka | Hand-Painted Newari Artistry
Paubha Artwork of 6-Arms Vasudhara | Goddess of Prosperity
This exquisite hand-painted 6-Arms Vasudhara Thangka celebrates the sacred feminine through the ancient Newari artistic method, exuding both celestial grace and opulence. As the Buddhist goddess of abundance, she bestows upon her followers financial prosperity alongside spiritual insight. Created with acrylic and mineral-based pigments, this vibrant piece is rendered on cotton canvas, showcasing the timeless beauty and ceremonial depth of Himalayan Thangka art.
Vasudhara is seated gracefully on a fully bloomed red lotus, which symbolizes spiritual purity emerging from the material world. Her posture is elegant and majestic, with one leg extended downward in a gesture of compassionate engagement and the other folded in serene meditation. Vasudhara’s calm and compassionate face is crowned with three heads, each looking in a different direction, representing her omniscient awareness and ability to benefit beings across various realms.
In this thangka, she is portrayed with six arms, each expressing a powerful aspect of her enlightened activity. One arm holds a sheaf of grain, representing sustenance and agricultural abundance, while another displays a sacred text, symbolizing spiritual wisdom. A rosary bead signifies mindfulness and mantra recitation. One hand displays the Varada Mudra, a gesture of bestowing blessings and generosity, while the other holds a wish-fulfilling jewel, offering protection, accompanied by a vase that symbolizes endless wealth and blessings. She is adorned with gold ornaments, silk scarves, and colorful garments, reflecting Paubha's artistry and devotion. The unique footprint on a conch shell above a golden treasure vase symbolizes the flow of blessings and the spread of the Dharma.
The painting depicts an arched throne with sacred architectural motifs, guarded by mythical beings. The Kirtimukha (Face of Glory) is at the top, flanked by curling dragons and makaras. The throne pillars are detailed with lotus and jewel-like patterns, enhancing the sense of sanctity. This thangka is a masterpiece of devotional art and a sacred visual meditation on Vasudhara's qualities of abundance, wisdom, and compassionate generosity.
