Hindu deity Chinnamasta is an enraged manifestation of Mahadevi. She represents the ten goddesses of the esoteric Tantric tradition and stands for both life, immortality, and recreation as well as death, temporality, and destruction. She communicates spiritual self-realization and Kundalini awakening. Although no specific tool for the beheading is described in any tradition or in any other puranas or upanishads, the goddess is holding her own severed head in her left hand. Depending on how she is perceived, she embodies Devi's dual nature as both a life-giver and a life-taker. She is an expression of sexual vitality as well as a representation of sexual restraint. She stands for immortality, enjoyment, and both life and death as well as destruction and time.

The serpent around the goddess's neck represents Kundalini Shakti. The sexual yearning is symbolized by the two women, Rati and Kama. The bare body represents the rejection of the material world. One must restrain their sexual inclinations and let go of their ego in order to activate Kundalini Shakti. The goddess standing between the pair is a representation of how completely in control the woman is of her sex needs. Her head serves as the image's representation of ego. Consequently, the decapitation represents how she has severed her ego. Ida and Pingala Nadi are represented by her two female yogini companions, while Sushumna Nadi is symbolized by her head. Therefore, three streams of blood come from her neck, one of which enters her mouth, and the others are swallowed by her female yogini companions on each side of her. It represents that when Kundalini Shakti awakens, it drinks off all the blood in the body.

Thangka Painting Guide

How should I care for my Thangka painting?

To preserve the beauty and longevity of your Thangka painting, keep it away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Display it in a clean, dry environment and avoid direct contact with water, as it can damage the painting.

For a traditional touch, consider framing your Thangka with brocade from Himalayas Shop. This not only enhances its beauty but also adds an extra layer of protection. When not in use, carefully roll up the Thangka and store it in a protective cover to avoid creasing or tearing.

You could also frame it at your local shop for modern look.

Where Should I Hang My New Thangka Painting?

Your Thangka painting should be hung in a place of respect, such as a meditation room, living room, or altar area. Ensure it is displayed at eye level to fully appreciate the intricate details.

Thangka can also be displayed in offices to create a serene and positive environment, or in your child's room to introduce them to spiritual art from an early age, fostering their spiritual journey.

Can I Use Thangka Paintings for Meditation?

Yes, Thangka paintings are often used as meditation aids. The detailed imagery and symbolic meanings can help focus the mind and deepen meditation practices. Choose a Thangka depicting a deity or mandala that resonates with you and place it in your meditation space to enhance your practice.

How Long Does It Take to Paint a Thangka?

The time required to complete a Thangka painting varies based on its size and complexity. A small, simple Thangka might take several weeks to month complete.

Thangka paintings are not created with commercial intentions to be finished quickly; rather, painting a Thangka is a deeply spiritual practice for the artist itself. High-level master artists take their time, painting only when they have the right energy and spiritual alignment.
