Palden Lhamo (Sanskrit: Mahashri; also known as Shridevi or the Goddess of Fortune) is one of the most revered protective deities in Tibetan Buddhism

Origin & Names

Rooted in Hinduism and Brahmanism as a goddess of prosperity and blessings, she was later incorporated into Buddhism. Legend holds she is the sister of Vaishravana (the Heavenly King of Wealth), earning her the epithet "Goddess of Merit." In Tibetan, she is affectionately called "Palden Lhamo," meaning "Glorious Goddess”

Iconography

· Blue-skinned with fiery red hair, wearing a five-skull crown and adorned with lion-snake earrings

· Three eyes (symbolizing wisdom), a wide mouth with protruding fangs, and a necklace of human bone beads

· Clad in a tiger skin skirt and a human skin upper garment, with a sun emblem on her abdomen

· Riding a mule (marked by an eye on its rump) over a inverted human skin mat

· Holding a ritual staff in her right hand and a skull bowl (filled with nectar) in her left

Spiritual Significance

Regong Thangka

Regong Thangka originated on the snow-covered plateau of Tibet. Since the 11th century, when Nepalese Buddhist painting techniques were introduced to this region, it has undergone centuries of refinement. By incorporating the strengths of various painting schools such as the Men-Tang style, Regong Thangka has eventually developed into a unique and iconic artistic model. As a rare treasure of Tibetan cultural art, Regong Thangka features vivid and lifelike compositions, meticulous and elaborate brushwork, and rich, bright colors. Within the limited space of the canvas, it fully exhibits a sense of ethereal beauty. Today, Regong Thangka has been displayed at numerous exhibitions both at home and abroad. With its flexible and expressive brushstrokes, it conveys the profound heritage of ethnic cultural integration, truly deserving the title of a timeless artistic treasure.

Pure Natural Minerals

These colors are derived from five basic hues—white, red, green, blue, and yellow—and are created by mixing these base colors in different proportions. This fully demonstrates the meticulous color-mixing skills of Thangka painters.

The application and refinement of pigments have developed into a unique set of techniques covering color production, blending, and application. When these color materials pass through the dexterous hands of painters, they endow Thangka art with life and glory, making it world-famous for its bright and vivid colors that remain fresh and vibrant over time.

Hand Drawn

Thangka is the core visual carrier of Tibetan Buddhist culture, with hand-painting as its soul, while The Treatise on Proportions (a classic text on Buddhist iconography) serves as the sacred criterion for the form of Buddha images. The text clearly stipulates the proportional dimensions of Buddha statues' bodies, the layout of their facial features, and other details. Craftsmen use crosshairs to position and calibrate the images, ensuring they possess solemnity in both form and spirit.

For hand-painted thangkas, the selection of materials is extremely rigorous. The canvas goes through multiple processing steps, and the pigments are made by grinding natural minerals and plants—this ensures the thangka retains its vivid colors and remains well-preserved over time. In terms of techniques, line drawing is used to outline the interplay between solid and void strokes, and color gradation, a traditional technique for smooth color transitions) achieves natural transitions, all of which are fully controlled by the craftsmen's hands and inner mastery.

For craftsmen, painting thangkas is a form of spiritual practice. They infuse their devout faith into the creation process, endowing thangkas with a unique spiritual aura. As an intangible cultural heritage, hand-painted thangkas carry the essence of craftsmanship and cultural traditions, standing as a vivid testament to the inheritance of diverse cultures.
