Introduction to Mahakala A thangka is a Tibetan painting that is traditionally used as a support for one’s meditation practice. The imagery depicted in Tibetan paintings provides a guide for the elaborate visualizations that one does in Tibetan Buddhist practice. In Tibetan homes and monasteries, thangkas are considered sacred objects and are often placed above shrines. Mahakala is a fierce manifestation of Shiva in Hinduism and Tantric Buddhism. In this artwork, the powerful god is shown in a form of an enraged red visage with a wise third eye and a traditional art, that represents five wisdoms. There is a metal hoop in the back that lets the mask hang from a wall hook. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Size: 14"/ 36 cm (width) x 21"/ 53 cm (height)Materials: Cotton Canvas
