Thangka is a Tibetan Buddhist painting done on cotton, silk appliqué usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or Mandala. Thangkas are traditionally kept unframed and rolled up when not on display. It takes a lot of time to complete a Thangka.
It serves as an important teaching tool depicting the life of Buddha, various influential lamas, other deities, and Boddhisattvas. Tibetan Buddhist painting developed from wide-spread traditions of early Buddhist paintings which now only survives sites.
