Buddhist Calendar Thangka Painting
About Our Thangka :
Our thangka is a traditional work of art that features the hand-painted Buddhist Calendar. It is a distinctive piece made with real 24K gold and colors from natural stones.
Introduction To Buddhist Calendar :
The Tibetan calendar is unique and lunar based. It is very important in Tibetan culture and is used to set dates for various Buddhist ceremonies. It follows natural cycles of time, the seasons and the planets, and is associated with enhancing physical and emotional balance.
In the center of the thangka, we can see the image of tortoise lying on its back with the head atop and four limbs extended, each a precious jewel.
Central to the composition, the tortoise is illustrated with nine colored squares containing the Nine Magic numbers.
The second ring displays the Eight Trigrams of Chinese origin. Around this, circles the 12 animal figures of the 60 Year Cycle; surrounded by the outer edge of the tortoiseshell, which is engulfed by the flames of wisdom.
As an Astrological Chart, the heavens are revealed in a symbolic fashion, and as a Talisman, protects from misfortune.

How does mold damage a Thangka ?
Mold can grow easily in a damp space that isn't well-ventilated. A thangka will develop mold if it is humid or wet in such a space. The fabric, the pigment, and the binder may all be severely harmed by this growth. The thangka develops a fuzzy layer due to mold.
