This is original hand-painted Buddhist art, Thangka of Manjushree. The Thangka is painted with a gold color in canvas by Buddhist Lama. Manjushree is a Bodhisattva who is considered as a "God of Divine Wisdom". It is believed that worshiping Manjushree bring wisdom and intelligence. In Tibetan Buddhism, Manjushree manifests in a number of different Tantric forms. According to Swayambhu Purana, the Kathmandu Valley was once a lake. It is believed that Manjushree saw a lotus flower in the center of the lake and cut a gorge at Chovar to allow the lake to drain. The place where the lotus flower settled became Swayambhunath Stupa and the valley thus became habitable. This is a real painting, not a print. This is one of the finest painting. This Thangka is Intermediate painting and good for beginners who want to know about Thangka painting. This Thangka comes in a roll.
