Chakrasamvara Mandala Thangka
About Our Thangka :
The Tibetan word Thangka means an unfolding painting, where the word Thang stands for an unfolding scroll and Ka means a painting. Thangka paintings, as a whole, are a visual representation of Buddhist deities, scenes, or mandalas, painted on silk or cotton canvas.
Introduction To Chakrasamvara Mandala :
Chakrasamvara is the major meditational deities of the mother tantras. Chakrasamvara has four faces and twelve arms. He is blue in color and stands on a sun disc surrounded by a flaming aura of his own radiant wisdom. His hands are crossed in the embracing mudra and hold the vajra and bell symbolic of unified bliss and emptiness. He wears a tiger skin cloth in the manner of an ascetic yogi. On his forehead is the third eye of wisdom and the expression on his face is a mixture of wrath and passion.
Chakrasamvara embraces his red consort who holds a curved knife in her right hand to cut off ego interferences and in her left hand holding a skull cup symbolizes blissful wisdom which is not shown in the thangka.

Why should thangka be kept away from mold?
A humid room without air circulation is the perfect environment for mold growth. If a thangka in such a room becomes damp or wet, mold will grow on it. This growth can badly damage the cloth, the pigment, and the binder. Molds form a fuzzy coating on the thangka.
