Buy Authentic Thangka Paintings and Singing Bowls Direct from Nepal

A thangka (also spelled thanka or thanga) is a hand-painted Buddhist artwork from Nepal and Tibet, traditionally made on cotton or silk. It depicts Buddhas, deities, and mandalas using strict iconographic rules, and practitioners use it as a focus for meditation and a source of teaching.

You can buy directly from Buddha’s Art of Healing, a thangka shop and gallery in Boudha, Kathmandu, beside the Boudhanath Stupa. Our artists paint each piece by hand, so you buy from the workshop without middlemen.

Look for fine, even detail, mineral pigments and gold that show subtle variation, and a cotton or silk base. Mass-produced prints look flat and uniform. At Buddha’s Art of Healing, every thangka painting comes directly from our artists in Nepal and is hand-painted by trained masters.

Artists stretch and prepare a cotton canvas, draw the design following precise iconometric rules, and apply natural mineral pigments and 24k gold. A single thangka can take weeks or months to complete, and the process is itself a meditation.

Price depends on size, the detail of the design, the amount of gold used, and the artist’s skill level. Small mandalas start around $55 and large, detailed pieces such as a 21 Tara thangka cost more than $1,000. Browse our thangka collection for current prices.

A Himalayan or Tibetan singing bowl is a hand-hammered metal bowl that produces a rich, resonant tone when played with a mallet. People use it for:

• Sound healing and meditation: the sound helps quiet the mind and encourages relaxation.
• Space cleansing: many traditions use the tone to restore harmony to a room.
• Sound baths and mindfulness: therapists and teachers use them for stress reduction.

Our bowls are hand-hammered from bell metal, a blend of several metals. Each strike and the movement of the mallet around the rim shapes the bowl’s unique tone.

• Thangka: Frame it with acid-free backing and UV-protective glass, and display it away from direct sunlight and humidity.
• Singing bowl: Keep it dry to prevent tarnishing and handle it gently. The mallet and cushion are all you need to play it.
