This charming dress is handmade by artisans at our studio in Rajasthan with 100% organic cotton and natural indigo dye. The soft natural fabric breathes, making them ideal for warm weather and relaxed days. This lovely dress is highlighted by sleeping lotus flowers, ready to burst in the morning sun.
The magic of this dress lies in the handmade dabu printing. Dabu is an age-old process that has been perfected over generations in India. A local mud mixture is hand printed on natural cotton cloth using hand-cut wood block prints and left to dry. The cloth is then dipped into the natural indigo vat, where the area with the mud resists the dye, and the rest is colored a beautiful blue. After washing, the secret is revealed. Part of the beauty of dabu fabric lies in fact that each block is placed by the artisan’s hand - what is left behind is an imprint of the personality and character of the blockprinter. Slight variations are to be celebrated.
Fabric: 100% Organic Cotton
Size: This dress is relaxed with plenty of room to breathe.
Care: Fabrics with indigo tend to transfer color. We recommend washing before first usage to remove any surface dyes. Wash separately or with darker colors. Gentle machine wash recommended. Do not dry in the sun to avoid bleaching.

This gorgeous painting by master artist Mukti Singh Thapa is of 1000-Armed Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Painted in the Tibetan style, this emanation of Avalokitesvara has 11 heads and 1000 hands with 1000 eyes on the palm of each hand. The 1000 eyes allow Avalokitesvara to see the sufferings of all sentient beings, and the 1000 hands allow him to reach out to help them. His mantra is the ever-present ‘Om Mani Padme Hum’ that you hear chanted throughout the Himalaya. This wonderful piece displays Thapa's mastery of Tibetan style through its rich color palette, creative composition and use of traditional iconography.
This original thangka, or paubha in Nepal, is painted in the traditional manner with ground mineral pigments on primed cotton canvas. For example, the blues are painted with lapis lazuli and the greens are composed of malachite. The gold ornaments, such as the crown and jewelry, are painted painstakingly with 24 carat gold. A painting of this size will take several months to compose, sketch and complete.
The original painting is available for purchase. Additionally, Mahakala Fine Arts has produced a Collector's Edition fine art print so that you can collect this museum quality work of art. This piece is limited to 100 prints and can only be found at Mahakala Fine Arts. It is printed on thick archival paper in the same quality used by top museums worldwide.

He defends the Dharma from hostile forces and protects the individual practitioner from deception and delusion, bestowing power to overcome life's struggles. This stunning piece displays Thapa's mastery of the 13th - 16th century Newar Design style through its rich color palette and use of traditional iconography.

This work by Nepal’s contemporary religious master artist Udaya Charan Shrestha is named Mahalaxmi, meaning ‘the great Laxmi.'

This stunning paubha highlights Udaya’s style through its intricate detail, contemporary sensuality and creative originality.

This lovely painting by master artist Mukti Singh Thapa is the Sidi Yantra Mandala. Mukti painted this work in the late 1989 and it is part of his 'Early Collection.' It is not dated or signed, as is the custom when painting religious works. This is because the practitioner is worshipping the diety and the artist's signature is a distraction from that focus.
As with all of the artist's work, it is painted in the traditional manner with mineral pigments on primed cotton canvas. The green is painted with malachite, the red is cinnabar, the blue is lapis lazuli, and the yellow is orpiment.
The original thangka, or paubha in Nepal, painting, is available for the curious collector. If you are interested in this original artwork, please email Mahakala@MahakalaFineArts.com and we will share the price as well as more information about this unique piece.

He defends the Dharma from hostile forces and protects the individual practitioner from deception and delusion, bestowing power to overcome life's struggles. This excellent black and white piece, painted during his black and white period from 2005 - 2007, displays Thapa's mastery of the 13th - 16th century Newar Design style through its intricate design and use of traditional iconography.
This original thangka, or paubha in Nepal, was painted in the traditional manner with handmade blank ink on primed white canvas. There is no white pigment used, meaning that even one small slip of the brush will force the artist to destroy the entire work. Additionally, in only painting with black ink, Mukti is painting the negative space with the plain white canvas taking prominence. This method takes considerable concentration, and a painting of this size and complexity will take several months to compose and complete.
The original 89 cm (35 inch) painting is available for the discerning collector. Meanwhile, Mahakala Fine Arts has produced a Collector's Edition fine art print so that you can collect this museum quality work of art. This piece is limited to 100 prints and can only be found at Mahakala Fine Arts. It is printed on thick archival paper in the same professional quality used by top museums worldwide and looks remarkably similar to the original.
With your 68 cm (27 inch) fine art print you will receive an authentication card, numbered and signed by the artist in English and Nepali script, as well as an artist biography.

In this older work, Green Tara is in a meditative pose with two followers, and Amoghasiddhi Buddha in the top left.
As with all of the artist's work, it is painted in the traditional manner with mineral pigments on primed cotton canvas. The green body is painted with malachite and the red background is cinnabar, while the jewelry is painted painstakingly with 24 carat gold.
