It was kismet to find this exquisite White Tara, a gift for my good friend on her 30th birthday, on Ritual Thanka's Etsy. They have so many practice-quality paintings created by true craftsmen, and the purchasing process is easy.
When I called Ritual's contact number to ask a question, their sales manager answered and took action to help even though it wasn't his normal job. (Thanks, Rajendra!)
They also sent me a brief personal video showing the packed thangka ready for shipping, and got it out the door quickly -- in the face of the covid pandemic, no less.
You can feel safe supporting Nepalese artists by purchasing from Ritual Thanka.

Astonishing thanka of Chakrasamvara
Chakrasambhara is an ecstatic(delight) union with his consort vajravarahi, is also regarded as manifestation of heyvajra who is the central figure of as esoteric culture ,the Vajrayana Buddhism.
Chakrasamvara Thangka Painting, Traditional Tibetan Thangka, For Vajrayana Practitioner.
Vajrayana practitioners choose one of the Tutelary/Yidam deities to pursue their lifelong path on spiritual development. We have heard and read stories where Mahasiddhas spent 12 years or so dedicating oneself to the practice of Hevajra, Chakrasamvara, Vajrayogini and so. In Vajrayana, this is the way to attain enlightenment.
Amongst Kagyupa it is generally Chakrasamvara, Vajravarahi, or Guru they will choose to dedicate their life.
