☛ Kalachakra Mandala: The Wheel of Time
This exquisite Kalachakra Mandala Thangka represents the intricate and profound symbolism of the “Wheel of Time” — a concept central to Tibetan Buddhism that explores the nature of time, cycles, and cosmic harmony. The Tibetan term “Kilkhor” means “center and surrounding,” referring to the sacred geometry of the mandala which symbolizes the universe.
Traditionally created using fine grains of colored sand derived from crushed gemstones, mandalas like this are infused with spiritual energy and blessings, each element embodying deep ritual significance. While this version is meticulously painted by hand, it draws on the same intricate detail, meditative intent, and ritual potency.
☛ Polyester Brocade Mounting
This thangka is elegantly mounted in rich polyester brocade, designed to:
-
Offer a traditional, ceremonial aesthetic.
-
Protect the delicate canvas with a silk veil cover.
-
Allow for immediate hanging in temples, meditation spaces, or sacred homes.
The brocade enhances the spiritual and visual presence of the thangka while ensuring its longevity.
☛ What is a Thangka?
