Description
Thangka painting is an ancient art tradition of the Tibetan people. The thangka was traditionally used as an object of religious veneration. Great importance is placed on the Buddhist iconography in the painting.
Tourism in the Himalayans has turned thangkas into lucrative business, resulting in mass production of thangkas. High-quality, authentic Tibetan thangka is in danger of becoming extinct.
