This is a magnificent piece of Buddha Shakyamuni thangka. Masterfully executed in rich, vibrant colors with illuminating detail; The silk brocade frame compliments the painting beautifully and forms a focal point in our praying/meditation room
I receive the piece earlier than expected in good shape; and prior to purchase, Rajendra was responding quickly and very helpful in providing high resolution picture for my further evaluation. Thank you Rajendra and surely I will be back again.

What is a Thangka painting?
The Tibetan word Thangka means an unfolding painting, where the word Thang stands for an unfolding scroll and Ka means a painting. Thangka paintings, as a whole, are a visual representation of Buddhist deities, scenes, or mandalas, painted on silk or cotton canvas.
Thangka Paintings follow a generic principle of composition, design, and iconography. It is made following tradition and guidelines while leaving spaces for personal creativity and expression. In Buddhist culture, Thangka Paintings hold high religious values. In a way, it is also a tool that facilitates the realization of one's true nature or the nature of reality

Buddha Samantabhadra Tibetan Hand painted Thangka:
According to traditional Tibetan Buddhism Buddha Samantabhadra is the primordial Buddha and the central figure of the most important of all Tantras: the Guhyagarbha Tantra.
In the verses of the Nyingma texts, Samantabhadra is described as the “primordial Lord of unchanging light, the central origin of all mandalas, possessing the ocean of knowledge and pristine awareness”.
In this thangka painting Samantabhadra is depicted embracing his consort Samantabhadri in Yab-Yum, the sacred union.
The color of his skin is blue and he sits naked in a 'vajra' posture, with his two hands placed on his laps in the gesture of meditation.
Samantabhadra is the representation of the original nature of the mind and a symbol of unity between awareness and compassion.
