About the Thangka :

Introduction of Tibetan Wheel Of Life :
The Wheel of Life or “Bhavachakra” is well known by Tibetan Buddhist monks as a powerful meditation tool and also by students to learn and understand the teachings of the Buddha.
The Wheel represents the very reasons of suffering and it can be seen painted on the walls of many Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in all Himalayan regions.
The six main segments of the wheel are the six realms of existence. The upper half is the relatively happier realm of the gods, the asuras or demigods, and the human realm. The lower half is the realms of the animals, hungry ghosts, and lastly the torturous hell realm.

Why is it important to keep thangka away from insects, vermin, and mold?
The animal and plant glue binders used in creating thangkas are an excellent food for mold, insects, and vermin. A warm, damp environment is an ideal environment for mold growth. Thangkas that are rolled and stored in a dark and undisturbed place are easy prey for insects and rodents. So, to prevent it from damage one should always examine display and storage areas frequently, look for signs of dampness, mold growth, insect frass, or rodent droppings.
