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.

Hand-Painted Four Armed Chengrezig with Manjushri and Vajrapani:
This hand-painted thangka of the Four-Armed Chengrezig, flanked by Manjushri and Vajrapani, is a striking depiction of Buddhist deities symbolizing compassion, wisdom, and power. Chengrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara, is depicted with serene and compassionate features, holding a lotus flower, a prayer bead, and a vase containing immortality nectar. To Chengrezig’s right is Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, who holds a flaming sword to cut through ignorance and a lotus bearing the Prajnaparamita sutra, symbolizing wisdom. On his left is Vajrapani, the Bodhisattva of Power, who is depicted with a dynamic expression, holding a vajra, symbolizing the power to overcome obstacles and transform negative forces. The thangka's background is richly detailed with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, featuring auspicious symbols and celestial motifs. The meticulous brushwork and use of natural pigments demonstrate the artist's skill and dedication, making it a profound spiritual artifact.
This thangka is ideal for meditation and contemplation, offering inspiration and guidance through the virtues of compassion, wisdom, and power. It can be purchased from various online platforms and specialty art stores, inviting the blessings of Chengrezig, Manjushri, and Vajrapani into your life.
