Product Description
This Kalachakra Mandala Thangka is painted on a traditional cotton canvas, presenting a vibrant yet harmonious palette of red, blue, black, and earthy tones. Its core is a complex mandala - with intricate geometric patterns and layered gates, symbolizing the structure of the universe and the stages of spiritual realization. The flowing blue waves, auspicious symbols, and Tibetan language enhance the sacred order and sense of protection surrounding this central element.
The core of this painting depicts a time wheel, representing the mandala (dwelling) of the Diamond God, with complex geometric patterns symbolizing the universe, time, sky, earth, and city; The background is decorated with stylized clouds and lotus patterns, evoking a sacred state of awakening. The concentric circles and square layers in the mandala symbolize the journey towards spiritual awakening, achieving divine attributes such as the Wheel of Time, representing the laws of existence of all things in the universe. The precise attention to detail and balanced composition of artists highlight their superb skills in sacred art. This thangka is a meditation tool that can guide practitioners towards inner peace.
In terms of Thangka characteristics, the Wheel of Time Diamond Mandala is unique. The crescent shaped area around the city is designed as a sacrificial site, while the six concentric circles outside the palace are decorated with patterns such as water, diamonds, lotus flowers, representing elements such as the sea, wind walls, and firewalls. These concentric circles cleverly represent six elements: the innermost yellow circle symbolizes the earth element, while the outer circle represents water, fire, wind, space, and consciousness. In addition, a Tibetan circle was drawn between the red and black circles, meaning 'temple of moral space', implying perfection and harmony.
Natural mineral powders provide the vivid hues in this thangka, enhancing the sacred imagery while maintaining long-lasting brightness and intensity.
