Bhairab Shakti Thangka

Hand-painted Thangka of Bhairab Shakti with female shakti called Vajra. A thangka is a classical and stylised form of Nepalese and Tibetan painting, consisting of a painted picture panel surrounded by a textile mantle that is supported by scroll sticks and overlain with a silk cover. Bhairab is Lord Shiva in his most fearsome aspect. It is said that telling a lie while standing before Kala Bhairab will bring instant death and it was once used as a form of trial by ordeal.
