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.

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.

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.

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.
