Thangka painting is a major Buddhist art tradition connected with religious teaching, ritual practice, meditation, monastery culture, and artisan training.
Thangkas often represent deities, mandalas, lineage figures, cosmological systems, and symbolic teaching structures.
The practice requires discipline, iconographic knowledge, fine brushwork, and transmission through teachers and workshops.
