A Thangka is a sacred Buddhist work of art that is rich with symbolism. These traditional paintings are important supports for meditation and visualisation, and have been hung in Tibetan monasteries and Buddhist homes for centuries. We believe our thangkas are amongst the best available in the marketplace. All are traditionally mounted within a fine brocade frame. Each piece is hand selected for quality and checked thoroughly to make sure it is iconographically correct. Some of our finer works can take the artist several months to complete.

We try our best to purchase directly from the artist, and not to buy from the lower quality Thangka wholesalers that are common in Nepal and India. This means greater financial support is given to the artists, which aids them to produce finer quality works. Due to paying a higher premium, we get a choice of only the best paintings. The quality of the more expensive thangkas is reflected in the standard of painting, the size of the piece, materials used (eg. gold and stone pigment paints) and the higher standard of brocade frame. It is not difficult to see why our paintings are in the homes of practitioners and Buddhist centres all over the world.

We also commission thangkas of Buddhas, deities, yidams, protectors and lineage gurus that may not be listed here. If you are interested in purchasing a Thangka that is not shown on our website, then please feel free to contact us. We will be delighted to help you.

Photographs will never do these wonderful paintings full justice. But if you do require further pictures to help your decision then please let us know.

Sizes quoted are approximate.


All of our thangkas are framed with brocade in the traditional manner.

A superior large Thangka of the 21 emanations of Green Tara. This is certainly amongst the finest Thangkas we have seen available in or outside of Asia. This piece was painted by a Tibetan artist from East Tibet, who has more than 25 years experience. He spent many months working on this piece using hand prepared mineral based paints. The brocade mounting is also of superior silk and finished to breathtaking quality. It has taken us many years to source Thankgas of this quality so we are very excited to be able to offer a selection of works from this artist.

Green Tara is associated with the air element. She embodies female wisdom and has many peaceful and wrathful aspects. She is known as the "Swift Saviouress" due to her readiness to protect us from negative forces and help us avoid negative karma. Meditation on Green Tara is thought to bring quick thinking, spontaneity and wisdom in our actions, generosity, magical perfection and fearlessness. Her short mantra is OM TARE TUTARE TURE SVAHA.
