MANJUSHREE OIL VARNISHED ORIGINAL TIBETAN THANGKA PAINTING WITH COTTON BROCADE

Description: This meticulously hand-painted Tibetan Thangka, a testament to skilled craftsmanship, showcases the revered Manjushree or Manjusri or Manjushri Bodhisattva, surrounded by high-quality cotton brocade. The Thangka is oil-varnished, a traditional method used to protect it from damage and enhance its visual appeal. In Buddhism, Manjushree is revered as the 'God of Divine Wisdom' and is believed to bestow wisdom and intelligence upon those who worship him. Manjushree appears in various Tantric forms in Tibetan Buddhism, each carrying unique symbolism and profound spiritual significance. According to the Swayambhu Purana, a sacred text in Nepalese Buddhism, the Kathmandu Valley was once an expansive, uninhabitable lake. However, Manjushree, the God of Wisdom, spotted a lotus flower sprouting at the lake's center, symbolizing enlightenment, purity, and divinity. Manjushree, with his divine wisdom, carved a gorge at Chovar, allowing the water to drain out and transforming the valley into a habitable space. The lotus flower settled at Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple, marking a significant event in the valley's history. This powerful transformation adds depth to the Thangka's significance. The form of Manjushree, with one face and two arms, is a prevalent depiction in Tibetan Buddhism. In this form, he wields a sword of wisdom in his right hand and a book of teachings in his left hand. This exquisite hand-painted Tibetan Thangka, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, embodies the divine wisdom and intelligence of Manjushree Bodhisattva. Each element of the Thangka, from the sword symbolizing wisdom to the book representing teachings, signifies a deeper understanding of Buddhist principles. This makes the Thangka not just a visually stunning artwork but also a profound spiritual artifact for those seeking spiritual enlightenment.
