Tangkas: Windows to Inner Peace
Ever gazed upon a vibrant, intricate painting and felt a sense of profound calm? That’s the power of a Tangka, a captivating Himalayan Buddhist art form. Imagine silk or cotton canvases brought to life with depictions of deities, bodhisattvas, or sacred mandalas. These aren’t just paintings; they’re gateways to deeper understanding.
