☛ Pancha Buddha: About
The Five Dhyani Buddhas, commonly known as Pancha Buddha, represent five distinct qualities of Shakyamuni Buddha. Also referred to as the Five Wisdom Tathagatas, they are highly revered in Vajrayana Buddhism. In Sanskrit, they are called the Five Conquerors or Victors and are frequently depicted in Buddhist art, particularly in thangkas and statue collections.
The Pancha Buddhas are:
- Vairochana (Central)
- Akshobhaya (East)
- Amitabha (West)
- Ratnasambhava (South)
- Amoghasiddhi (North)
In both Nepali and Tibetan Buddhism, these Buddhas are commonly represented in statues, paintings, and thangkas. A complete set of Pancha Buddhas is considered essential in traditional Nepali Buddhist collections, signifying their great spiritual significance.

☛ Use of Real Gold
This Pancha Buddha thangka is adorned with real gold, following an ancient Tibetan Buddhist technique. Gold is meticulously ground into fine dust and blended with a specialized binding agent to make it paintable on the canvas. This gold-infused mixture is then carefully applied to enhance the sacred beauty and depth of the artwork.
☛ Introduction to Thangka
A thangka, also known as tangka, thanka, or tanka, is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting that visually conveys spiritual teachings. These intricate artworks, created on cotton or silk appliqué, depict Buddhist deities, sacred mandalas, and religious narratives.
Unlike framed paintings, thangkas are designed to be rolled up for storage, preserving their integrity over time. To protect these delicate pieces, they are mounted on fabric backings and often include a silk cover. Proper storage in a dry environment is crucial to maintaining their vibrancy and longevity.
