Kalachakra Mandala Thangka – 54×54 cm, Fine Grade · MH-3893
The Kalachakra palace rises in nested square walls of blue, white, orange, gold-coloured and black from a small lotus at the centre, with a gateway topped by a tiered arch on each side and white offering figures on the courtyards.
Around it run rings of blue water, red and black bands carrying coloured Kalachakra syllables and dharma wheels, and a multicoloured scroll-patterned rim, set on a deep blue ground, with offerings of the senses in the corners: a conch, a mirror, fruit and cymbals.
Hand-painted in Nepal on cotton canvas.
Size: 54 × 54 cm (21.3 × 21.3 in), including the painted border. Hand-painted, so allow ±1–2 cm. Size guide →
About Kalachakra Mandala
The Kalachakra ("Wheel of Time") mandala shows the palace of the deity Kalachakra from above: nested square walls with a gateway on each side, set inside rings of fire, vajras, water and mantra syllables. It is one of the most complex mandalas in Tibetan Buddhism, and its geometry follows strict rules handed down by painters for centuries.
