Beautiful Nagaraja Buddha framed thangka painting.
What is a thangka painting?
A "Thangka," also known as "Tangka", is a painted or embroidered Buddhist banner which was hung in a monastery or a family altar and occasionally carried by monks in ceremonial processions. In Tibetan the word thang means flat, and thus the Thangka is a kind of painting done on flat surface but which can be rolled up when not required for display, sometimes called a scroll-painting. The most common shape of a Thangka is the upright rectangular form.
Originally, thangka painting became popular among traveling monks because the scroll paintings were easily rolled and transported from monastery to monastery. These thangka served as important teaching tools depicting the life of the Buddha, various influential lamas and other deities and bodhisattvas. One popular subject is The Wheel of Life, which is a visual representation of the Abhidharma teachings (Art of Enlightenment).
To Buddhists these Tibetan religious paintings offer a beautiful manifestation of the divine, being both visually and mentally stimulating.
Who is Nagaraja?
Appearing in the classic form of a 'renounced one,' a nirmanakaya buddha, in the aspect of a monk, Nagaraja has one face and two hands, golden in colour. Held at the heart and joined in the gesture (mudra) 'which prevents lower rebirths' the index fingers of the two hands are pointed upward and touching while the remaining fingers are entwined. Beautiful, at peace, adorned with blue-black tufts of hair and shaded by the hoods of seven snakes he wears the traditional patched saffron robes of a monk. Seated in vajra posture above a moon disc and white - pink shaded lotus, water-born, he is surrounded by an ornate nimbus adorned with wishing jewels and lotus blossoms.

Brian - fast service and beautiful jewelry
I bought some jewelry from their lotus galleries on Kauai in the past, but I've never used the website before. Anyways, everything went fast and I didn't have to pay for shipping. I'm very happy with my pearl bracelet, it's beautiful :) Mahalo
Christine - very unique stone
I own a meditation and yoga studio and I had a chance to visit your gallery in Kapaa and meet the owner. Since I got your lingam stone all my students noticed a huge difference in energy flow and feel much calmer when meditating. I've been to India myself and I know how hard is to find them in such a good shape and size. btw. Thank you for your presentation and hope to see you again,
Roy L - good service, we'll buy again
I was surprised to see my Quan Yin garden statue arrive so quickly, it now sits in the garden overlooking the fish pond. I will order again with confidence. Thank you
Crystal - most beautiful pendant I've ever seen
I wear jyotish jewelry all the time and this one is one of my favorites. Thank you very much for your beautiful collection. It'd be nice to see more pictures though.
Maria - thank you !
I love your Tahitian black pearl rings, but please show more pictures for your products, maybe something like a picture of a woman wearing the piece to see how big it is. Thank you for a quick and friendly service, hope to visit Hawaii some time :).
Amy - gorgeous earrings, thank you
The only thing that I'd like to see on your website is more pictures. Other than that everything went smooth and I really enjoy your earrings. Thank you,

I visited your Poipu gallery this summer and it was incredible to see a piece of Tibet in a tropical paradise. I wanted to thank you for this beautiful necklace. Best regards,
James, Santa Fe - found a gift for mother's day
I have to admit I was worrying a little about the shipment from Hawaii arriving on time, but delivery was exceptionally fast and my mother loved the earrings I got for her. Keep up the good work.
Mike D. - amazing collection
I was surprised at the rare collection of artifacts on your website. I particularly collect Buddha statues, but was happy to also find bronze Buddha hands that made a great addition to my house. Thank you for a friendly service,
