The Origin of Thangka Art
Thangka art is closely linked to Tibetan Buddhism. After Buddhism entered Tibet, the need for religious dissemination, Buddha worship, and meditation led to the emergence of this portable painting form. Early Thangkas mainly depicted Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhist stories, playing a key role in spreading Buddhism and becoming an important part of Tibetan Buddhist culture.Historical Tracing
Thangka's origin dates back to the Tubo period. When Princess Bhrikuti of Nepal and Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty entered Tibet during Songtsen Gampo's reign, they brought Buddha statues and scriptures, promoting Thangka's development. Tubo‑period mural art also influenced its painting techniques, laying the foundation for its unique style.
Cultural Blending
Thangka art is a result of cultural integration. It absorbs Buddhist art from India and Nepal and combines with Tibetan myths and folk customs. Its colors and painting style reflect this blend, making Thangka a globally recognized art form.
