Tibetan Thangka of GUHYASAMAJA AKSHOBHYAVAJRA, Qing Dynasty.
Thangka serve as important teaching tools depicting the life of the Buddha, various influential lamas and other deities and bodhisattvas.
One subject is the Wheel of Life (Bhavachakra), which is a visual representation of the Abhidharma teachings (Art of Enlightenment).
The term may sometimes be used of works in other media than painting, including relief in metal and woodblock prints.
Today, printed reproductions at poster size of painted thangka are commonly used for devotional as well as decorative purposes.
Many thangkas were produced in sets, though they have often subsequently become separated.
For many centuries Tibet was a spiritual and religious leader in Asia.
