A thangka, also known as tangka, thanka or tanka is a painting on cotton, or silk applique, usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala. ?

Generally, thangkas last a very long time and retain much of their luster, but because of their delicate nature, they have to be kept in dry places where moisture won't affect the quality of the painting. ? The Thangkas serve as important teaching tools depicting the life of the Buddha, various influential lamas and other deities and bodhisattvas. ? The Thangka, when created properly, perform several different functions.
