Vajrayogini, Dakini Thangka Painting Print, Tibetan Thangka Painting

Vajrayogini Thangka Painting, Traditional Tibetan Buddhist Art Original Size of Thangka ( 20 x 30 inches ) In Vajrayana practice, Vajrayogini is the most renowned female meditational deity. In this Vajrayogini thangka painting, she holds up a vajra-handled curved flaying knife and drinks from a skull bowl. A garland of freshly severed heads hangs down almost to the ankle of her left leg. The right leg is bent and brought up to her inner thigh in a dancer's pose.  Vajrayogini is beautiful, the most heavenly of all women. But it is not her beauty that attracts. Rather, it is her promise, the potential of controlling the ego and its cravings, that draws the practitioner. Her relative beauty is but a metaphor for that which is absolutely beautiful- the Void State. (shunyata) The stunning Vajrayogini thangka was done a long time back in our studio. We are happy to share it with you. If you look upon closer all emblems, attributes and intricate detailing has been carefully observed in
