Priyanka is a Thangka artist from Lahaul and Spiti, Himachal Pradesh, holding a Master's degree in Hindi. Having practiced Thangka art for over five years, she runs an art studio where she creates sacred works and teaches the traditional painting technique to young students.
Thangka painting is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist art form executed on cotton or silk canvases. The practice involves precise iconographic drafting, application of natural mineral pigments, and detailing with gold leaf water (gold paint) to depict sacred deities and spiritual mandalas.
Lahaul is a high-altitude Himalayan valley in Himachal Pradesh along the Manali-Leh route. Guarded by snow-topped mountains and nourished by the Chandra and Bhaga rivers, this Buddhist hub houses historic monasteries that preserve sacred Thangka paintings, murals, and wood carvings.
The artwork collection includes hand-painted Thangka scrolls, sacred Buddhist iconographies, and detailed monastery artwork. Painted on fine cotton or silk using rich mineral pigments and real gold water detailing, each artwork serves as a spiritual artifact for devotion, meditation, and sacred spaces.
Deeply rooted in the high-altitude monasteries of Lahaul and Spiti, Thangka art serves as a visual teaching of Buddhist philosophy and preserves this sacred Himalayan heritage by restoring monastery art and passing down these meditative painting traditions to local youth.
