Tangka-Art of Tibetan National Arts

Tang-ga

Thang-Ga also known as the name of Tibet Tangka, seen in every monastery and family shrine in Tibet, has been in vogue in Tibet for centuries.

It is the art of Tibetan scroll-banner painting and mainly depicts the images of Buddha, eminent monks and folk customs.
The pigments contribute greatly to the uniqueness of Tangka. They are made from natural materials such as rare metals and plants, and carefully mixed and processed by hand. Thus a well-kept Tangka still shines gorgeously generation after generation.

For both lamas and votaries, Tangka is an important tool for self-cultivation. By worshipping Tangka, they may be blessed with good deeds and rewards.
