Thangka painting originated from the cult of Buddha. This Buddhist painting is noted for its sublime theme, brilliant colors, intricate details and impeccable precision. Its variety and iconography convey much about the spiritual practice and worldview of the Buddhists. The thangkas are valued as religious aides or spiritual guides in the path of Enlightenment and along with fine artistry, require a profound faith and knowledge on the part of the artist.
