This outstanding painting by master artist Mukti Singh Thapa is of Mahakala, the Protector of the Dharma. It is inspired by the famed Mahakala, or Bhairab, of Chandeshwori temple in Banepa, Nepal. Banepa is a charming historical town located about twenty-five kilometres east of Kathmandu. Mukti painted this work in 1989 from mineral pigments and it is part of his 'Early Collection.'
Mahakala is considered to be the fierce and powerful emanation of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. 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 original thangka, or paubha in Nepal, is painted in the traditional manner with ground mineral pigments on primed cotton canvas. The stunning blue is painted with lapis lazuli from Afghanistan and the gold ornaments, such as the crown and jewelry, are painted painstakingly with orpiment. A painting of this size and complexity will take several months to compose, sketch and complete.
The original 79 cm (31 inch) painting is available for a special collection. 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.
With your 68 cm (27 inch) fine art print you will receive an authentication card, numbered signed by the artist in English and Nepali script, as well as an artist biography.

This outstanding painting by master artist Mukti Singh Thapa is of Bhairab or Mahakala, the Protector of the Dharma. Mahakala is considered to be the fierce and powerful emanation of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion. He defends the Dharma from hostile forces and protects the individual practitioner from deception and delusion, bestowing power to overcome life's struggles. This piece, painted during Thapa's black and white period from 2005 - 2007, displays his mastery of the 13th - 16th century Newar Design style through its precise lines, and expert use of traditional iconography.
This original thangka, or paubha in Nepal, was painted in the traditional manner with blank ink on primed cotton 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 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 painting is available for a special art lover. Additionally, Mahakala Fine Arts has produced a Collector's Edition fine art print so that everyone can enjoy 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.

This striking bracelet is highlighted by an antique African Trade Bead. These 19th century beads were handmade in Murano, the tiny island next to Venice, Italy, and traded with Africa. So important was this glass bead-making to Venice's prosperity that the master glass blowers were treated as royalty...but were not allowed to leave the island state. The bracelet is completed with bright blue Afghani lapis.
This one-of-a-kind bracelet carries a long history and fascinating story and is a conversation starter!

This lovely painting by master artist Mukti Singh Thapa is of a Boddhisatva teaching his followers. Mukti painted this work in the late 1980s or early 90s. 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 yellow Boddhisatva is painted with warm orpiment, while the blue background is painted with lapis lazuli.
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.

This graceful artwork by master artist Mukti Singh Thapa is of the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Buddhists take refuge in three different expressions of awakened mind: Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Each of these is a precious and necessary element of the Buddhist path, and so they are called the three jewels. The Buddha refers to the teacher, the Dharma to the teachings, and Sangha to the community. In this painting the Buddha in the middle is Vairocana, the female goddess on the left, Prajñāpāramitā, is the personification of wisdom and represents the Dharma, and the 4-arm Avolokitesvara on the right stands for compassion and represents the Sangha. This 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 precise lines, and expert use of traditional iconography.

These amazing Pashmina Knit Scarves are handmade from the finest quality cashmere in the world. The famed Pashmina, or Changthangi, goat was at the heart of the cashmere trade that started centuries ago in Kashmir where 'pashmina' literally translates to 'soft gold." Cashmere is made in many places around the world. The secret to pashmina is that it only comes from this special goat that lives high in the Ladakhi Himalaya.
Today, these light brown and cream goats wander the high elevations of the Indian Himalaya with their 'Changpa' herders. After spending the winter above 13,500 feet, they bring their goats down to the valleys in the summer and comb out the under fleece from their herds. The herders sell the raw pashmina to specialized craftsmen who comb, spin and weave the fibre by hand using traditional methods.
These Pashmina scarves are knitted, rather than woven, and all colors are rich and luxurious. These authentic scarves feel as good as they look and will keep you toasty all winter!

This lovely painting by master artist Mukti Singh Thapa is of Green Tara, the Buddha of enlightened activity, and is part of Mukti's 'Early Collection.' Tara is the most important goddess in Buddhism and was born from Chenrezig Avalokitesvara's tears of compassion. Green Tara protects practitioners from the eight fears.
Mukti painted this work in the late 1980s or early 90s. 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.
It is very interesting to compare this work to our other Green Tara thangka, painted in 2007. In the late 80s Mukti was starting to design a new style that turned the diety to the side, rather than facing forward, opening the painting and allowing it to tell a story. 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.

This mesmerizing work by master artist Mukti Singh Thapa is of the red, twelve-armed, dancing Ganesh. While traditionally a Hindu deity, this depiction of the elephant-headed Ganesh, or Binayak, is from the Sakya School of Tibetan Buddhism. It depicts Ganesh dancing inside a stylized rock cave, framed by an intricate white torana, while standing on a jewel-spitting rat. This spectacular piece displays Thapa's mastery of the 14th - 16th century Newar Design style through its rich color palette, precise lines and scroll patterns, 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. Ganesh is painted with rich red cinnabar and the gold ornaments, such as the crown and instruments, are painstakingly painted with 24 carat gold. A painting of this large size will take several months to compose, sketch and complete.
