About Our Regong Thangkas
We have been deeply rooted in the Tibetan Regong Thangka tradition for over a decade, based in Tongren City, Qinghai Province (formerly known as Regong). We uphold authentic tradition, pure handcrafting, and honest business practices. Working with dozens of intangible cultural heritage inheritors and experienced painters, we reject machine printing, chemical pigments, and assembly-line production, ensuring that each Tibetan Thangka embodies faith and craftsmanship. Our processes are transparent, and materials are traceable: from the canvas to the eye-opening ceremony, we follow ancient rituals, allowing those who acquire a piece to collect and worship with peace of mind.
Tibetan Regong Thangka FAQ
Does a Thangka painting have to be consecrated before you can bring it home?
The painting process itself is a form of spiritual practice and blessing. We suggest that after bringing your Thangka home, you visit a nearby temple to have it blessed by a master, or you can simply hang it there with sincere intention; its efficacy will be assured.
How to maintain a Regong Thangka painting?
Avoid direct sunlight and water. Hang it in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from kitchen fumes. Once a year, gently brush away dust with a dry, soft-bristled brush.
How to distinguish between hand-painted Thangkas and printed Thangkas?
Examine the fabric texture (hand-painted fabric has warp and weft), observe the pigment penetration on the back, and look at the three-dimensional effect of the gold threads (hand-painted gold has reflective layers under light).
