Thangka

25% to 50% off all our Thangka paintings

For the summer months we are offering between 25% and 50% reductions on all our non-brocaded Thangka paintings which also includes all those in the Master Thangka gallery. We are very mindful that in these financially difficult times more expensive items are more difficult to afford. The knock on affect of this is if the paintings don't keep moving then we are not benefiting the artists we support back in Nepal. We only stock Thangka of the highest quality so this is a great opportunity to purchase at a very affordable price.

New Bodhi seed and Rosewood Malas

We have recently added a new stock of both Bodhi seed and Rosewood Prayer Malas with counters made here in the UK for Pink Lotus Thangka. These Prayer Malas have been mindfully made and have been durably constructed. Each of the Mala have counters designed to match the design of the Prayer Mala. Some carry the traditional tassle but we also have an alternate Double Dorje design on the Rosewood Mala. We are always happy to create a Mala to your own design wherever possible. Please feel free to contact us.

 Bodhi Seed Prayer Mala

Master Quality Brocaded Thangkas

As part of our ongoing commitment to quality, we would like to bring to your attention our latest stock of brocaded Thangka, new to our website. Over the last few months we have made adjustments to our Pink Lotus Dharma Merchandising Co. workshop in Kathmandu and brought in a Master Thangka Tailor with over 15 years experience of creating Thangka brocades of the very highest order. He creates each brocade in the time-honoured tradition with meticulous attention to detail and to the exact measurements used by the different traditions.
