This beautiful Green Tara Old Thangka is an original hand-painted piece created using natural colors and varnished with oil to ensure longevity. It comes with a lovely cotton brocade or applique. Green Tara holds a significant place in the Buddhist tradition, as she is believed to be the spiritual consort of Amogasiddhi Buddha and a symbol of good fortune and prosperity.
Thangka paintings are unique in that they are not flat like oil or acrylic paintings and instead have a complex subject. Although they can last for a long time and retain their luster, they are delicate and must be kept in dry places where moisture won't affect the quality of the painting.
Thangka paintings are versatile teaching tools due to their rich symbolism and intricate details. They depict the life of the Buddha, influential lamas, and other deities and bodhisattvas. When created correctly, they perform several functions.
During a ritual or ceremony, holy images are often placed at the center and used to offer prayers or make requests. Images of deities in Buddhism serve as teaching tools, depicting the life of Buddha, describing historical events of important Lamas, or retelling myths associated with other deities. They offer an intriguing glimpse into the Buddhist tradition.
