This is a sacred handpainted Thangka painting of Shakyamuni Buddha, the historical Buddha who founded Buddhism over 2,500 years ago. Thangkas are traditional Tibetan Buddhist scroll paintings, created with devotion and precision by skilled artisans, often taking months to complete. They are not just artworks but spiritual tools, used for meditation, teaching, and blessings. This Thangka beautifully depicts Buddha Shakyamuni seated on a lotus throne, radiating peace and enlightenment, with his golden body symbolizing purity and wisdom. Such hand-painted Thangkas are rare and exclusive, making them treasures for both spiritual practice and artistic appreciation.
In this painting, Shakyamuni Buddha is shown in the earth-touching mudra - his right hand reaching toward the ground, symbolizing the moment of enlightenment when he called the Earth to witness his victory over ignorance. His left hand rests in meditation, holding a begging bowl, representing simplicity and detachment. Above him are the Five Dhyani Buddhas, each embodying different aspects of wisdom and guiding practitioners on the path to enlightenment. Surrounding the central figure are blooming lotus flowers, representing purity rising above worldly suffering, and protective deities and attendants who symbolize guidance and protection on the spiritual path. The rich golden details signify the Buddha’s radiant light and timeless teachings, while the background filled with clouds and floral motifs adds depth and divine presence.
