Description inspired from Images of Englitment.
This Custom of Tibetan thangka painting started from the creative ordered trials of the eighth Karmapa, Mikyö Dorje (1507-1554). He was one of the most prestigious Karmapas, a great contemplation ace as well as a productive, and student. Energetic about human expression and an imaginative visionary. He generally urged his devotees to master painting and cheered for this action.

It was set up when Mikyo Dorje and his company needed to travel. He composed an incredible book on craftsmanship named "the Incomparable Sun Workmanship Manual". It was beneficial for future craftsmen.
This thangka painting custom was likewise kept up within a spot called Karshoma, in eastern Tibet. To this end, the custom is known as Karshöma.

Introduction to Thangka
A thangka, also known as tangka, thanka, or tanka, is a vibrant and intricate Tibetan Buddhist painting that serves as a visual representation of spiritual teachings. Crafted with meticulous detail on cotton or silk appliqué, thangkas depict a wide range of subjects including Buddhist deities, sacred scenes, mandalas, and narrative stories. These sacred artworks are traditionally kept unframed and rolled up for storage, resembling ancient scrolls. To protect their delicate nature, thangkas are mounted on textile backings and often adorned with a silk cover on the front. Proper preservation in dry environments is crucial to maintain the integrity and longevity of the silk. Read More . . .
