About Our Product

This traditional Gautam Buddha thangka for a locket, also honoring Shakyamuni Buddha, is a finely hand-painted miniature sacred artwork created on cotton canvas using classical Tibetan thangka techniques. The painting depicts Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha also known as Gautam Buddha, revered as the source of enlightenment, wisdom, and compassion. Carefully applied acrylic pigments and refined 24K gold detailing enhance the Buddha's calm, luminous presence, making this miniature thangka suitable for devotional wear, meditation, or personal prayer.

The design follows authentic Himalayan iconography, portraying Shakyamuni Buddha in a serene meditation posture that symbolizes inner stillness and awakened awareness. His peaceful facial expression, balanced proportions, and symbolic hand gestures reflect the Buddha’s realization under the Bodhi tree and the path to liberation from suffering. Gold accents highlight key elements, including the halo and robes, adding visual depth while maintaining traditional harmony in this miniature format.

Shakyamuni Buddha thangkas are traditionally used to support mindfulness, meditation, and spiritual reflection. This handcrafted locket thangka serves as a portable devotional image, allowing practitioners to keep a sacred reminder of enlightenment and compassion close throughout daily life. It is ideal for spiritual practitioners, collectors of Tibetan Buddhist art, or anyone seeking meaningful sacred imagery rooted in the Himalayan tradition.

Introduction of Shakyamuni Buddha

Siddhartha Gautama was born as the crown prince of the mighty Shakya Kingdom, raised as a king according to his royal father's wishes. Around the age of 29, he became aware of humanity's immense suffering. He renounced his palatial lifestyle, lavish clothing, and fortune to discover the source of this anguish and find a cure. After more than six years of study, self-denial, and intense concentration, he finally achieved his objective, attaining nirvana and becoming a Buddha. He then declared that he had visited a deer park outside Sarnath (Benares) in Varanasi, India.
