Wheel of Life Thangka Painting
This is a Wheel of Life Thangka Painting, hand-drawn on primed cotton canvas using natural mineral and vegetable pigments. Each painting is a masterpiece of devotion and precision, crafted over a period ranging from one month to one and a half years, depending on the complexity of the details.
The Wheel of Life, also known as Bhavachakra, is a profound Buddhist representation of samsara-the cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. It serves as a visual teaching tool, illustrating the interconnected nature of existence and the forces that keep beings trapped in the cycle of suffering. The painting features Yama, the Lord of Death, holding the wheel, symbolizing impermanence and the transient nature of life. Within the wheel, the six realms of existence-gods, demi-gods, humans, animals, hungry ghosts, and hell beings-depict the different states of rebirth influenced by karma.
