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.

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
In Ritual Thangka, we provide a collection of a variety of Thangka paintings. Every one of our paintings has been hand-picked by our curators. We take great care in scrutinizing all aspects, from the quality of the thangka cloth to its composition, so that you get only the finest quality paintings.
OIL VARNISH:
Varnish is a final layer applied to a painting after it is finished and completely dry.
It’s used on paintings that are not going to be framed under glass to protect them from dirt, dust, and pollution in the environment.
Varnish also homogenizes (evens out) the final appearance of a painting, making it all equally glossy or matte.
Benefits of Oil Varnish
Varnishing oil paintings in the right way helps protect and ensure the aesthetics of these pieces of art.
More specifically, varnish keeps your artwork away from dust and dirt.
It likewise evens out its final look, making it matt, gloss, or satin.
Over time, dust and dirt will not stick to the painting but the varnish.
Handling And Hanging
It’s best to avoid leaning varnished paintings together, as they may stick.
If you use bubble wrap around your varnished painting, or pick it up with your fingers touching the varnish, impressions may show in the varnish.
Avoid hanging pictures in bathrooms or kitchens, or above radiators or open fires, as they will get dirty very quickly.

Buddhist Tantras describe this as the ' Inner Mandala '.
