Vajrapani

Dimensions : 85x 53 cm

Hand-painted

The name Vajrapani is a Sanskrit word that translates to "thunderbolt in hand." Therefore, our hand-painted Vajrapani thangka depicts him in his classic warrior pose, brandishing a vajra over his right shoulder. The vajra is an ancient symbol that originated in India. It was carried into battle by ancient generals, but in Buddhism, it symbolizes the male aspect of compassion and skillful means. Additionally, Vajrapani's wrathful appearance is intended to crush obstacles to spiritual realization.
