First, I want to say that customer service is more than 100 points and was so good! I bought two higher-quality thangkas, and the quality of the brocade is so unique. Of course, the thangkas are so beautiful. I would 100% recommend it to all my best thangka friends. I wish Ritual Thanka all the best.

1000 Armed Lokeshvara:
Avalokiteshvara, sometimes referred to as Chenrezig or the Thousand Armed Lokeshvara, is a bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism. One of the most respected gods in Tibetan Buddhism, he is thought to represent the compassion of all Buddhas. The deity is represented as having a thousand arms, each of which is holding a sign, such as a sword, a crystal rosary, or a lotus flower.
The 1000 Armed Lokeshvara is frequently depicted in thangka paintings in a tranquil meditation stance, accompanied by numerous other deities and Buddhist symbols. His profusion of limbs stands for his capacity to assist innumerable creatures at once. Rich hues and elaborate elements, such as gold leaf work, are frequently present in the artwork, adding to its grandeur.
