Hand Painted Mantra Mandala Thangka “Red Black and Gold Style Mandala”

This Lotus Mantra Mandala thangka is textured on cotton canvas, showcasing intricate details with an artistic use of traditional techniques. The colour palette features a striking gradient of red to pink hues, transitioning into a soft white centre, framed by a deep black background. This vibrant yet serene tone evokes a meditative and spiritual atmosphere, drawing viewers into a realm of inner peace.

At the heart of the mandala lies the HRI symbol, a seed syllable embodying compassion and love, symbolizing the blessing of all life. Surrounding it, the Om-Ma-Ni-Pad-Me-Hum mantra is delicately inscribed within lotus flower petals, radiating outward in concentric layers. The central figure, though abstract, exudes a serene presence, with its symmetrical design and flowing patterns suggesting a meditative pose.

Symbolically, the HRI and mantra represent enlightenment and the path to spiritual awakening, while the lotus signifies purity and rebirth. Rooted in Tibetan Buddhist tradition, this thangka serves as a sacred tool for meditation and ritual, embodying the profound teachings of mantra recitation and the pursuit of inner peace.

     The colors used in the thangka painting are sourced from minerals like lapis lazuli for blue, cinnabar for red, and malachite for green. These minerals are ground into fine powders and mixed with animal glue to form a vibrant medium.
