Are you aware of the Indian artistic culture where emotions, culture, feelings, sentiments and religious beliefs play a major role? Do you want to know how India is ahead in this painting world where every religion has its own artistic culture deep hidden within certain areas of the country? If you do not know then this article will show you one of the major artistic cultures in India...
- Do you know what is Amitabha Buddha? It is nothing but the true Buddha who possesses the infinite light.
Amitabha thangka is nothing but the presentation of the wordily riches owned by Buddha.
Thangkas show how Buddha used to sit in his palace named Sukhavati where he displays his hands, as if he is sitting in meditation and also holds a bowl of the Buddhist monk.
The bowl is the representation of true kindness and peace.
The Thangka paintings have their great importance to the Buddhist community.
The beautifully painted banners are displayed on the temple most of the times and is the main part of the processions conducted by the Buddhist community.
The definition of 'Thang' means a flat surface and 'Thangka' means painting which is done on a flat surface.
These are scrolling types of paintings which literally mean that they are done on a flat surface and can be easily rolled up when they are not to be displayed.
The famous thangka painters have never been known along with the tailors who have created its mountings.
The thangka paintings are mainly made in the areas of India where Buddhism exists. Dharmashala has many Tibetan inhabitants and is the hub place where Thangka paints are made.
It is also created in the west side where Amitabha Thangka is nothing but a simple decorative artistic form for so many years.
However, now people's view point for Amitabha Thangka is literally changing as the west side is slowly and steadily getting aware of the Buddhist philosophy.
