Thangka

The Tibetan term "Thangka" (ཐང་ཀ་) translates to "scroll painting," specifically denoting Tibetan Buddhist religious art painted on cloth with mineral pigments. Designed for hanging in shrines or portable devotion, it functions as a "mobile temple."
The core canvas of a Thangka is painted using powdered gemstones and natural minerals—a process requiring hours of grinding alone—ensuring the colors remain vivid for millennia.

A sacred tapestry of Esoteric Buddhism, With minerals as its soul and gold lines as its 

skeletal framework, It unveils celestial realms through the Measurement Sutra, Proving Bodhi within its compact frame.
