This magical painting by master artist Mukti Singh Thapa is of the Paramasukha Chakrasamvara Mandala, often described as the wheel ('chakra') of supreme bliss ('paramasukha'). This important meditational mandala depicts Samvara in union with his consort, Vajravahari. Their sexual embrace signifies the fusion of wisdom and compassion. This captivating piece displays Thapa's mastery of the 13th - 16th century Newar Design style through its rich color palette, precise lines, and expert 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. Prominent minerals in this work include rich blue lapis lazuli, brilliant red cinnabar and elegant green malachite. The gold ornaments, such as the crowns and jewelry, are painted painstakingly with 24 carat gold. A painting of this large size will take several months to compose, sketch and complete.
