Yes, many Thangka websites, including ours, offer customization options. You can request a specific deity, mandala, or even provide your own image for the artist to replicate in the Thangka style. Customization may involve additional costs and require consultation with the artists to ensure your vision is accurately reflected in the final artwork.

The time required to create a Thangka painting depends on its size, complexity, and the artist's workload. Generally, a Thangka can take anywhere from several weeks to several months to complete. The process involves several stages, including preparing the canvas, sketching the design, applying base colors, adding details, and finally framing or mounting the finished Thangka.

Thangka paintings are traditionally created using mineral pigments, which are ground from natural minerals and mixed with water. The canvas is usually made of cotton or silk fabric. To care for your Thangka, it is important to avoid exposure to direct sunlight, excessive humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations. It is recommended to display Thangkas in a controlled environment and handle them with clean hands or gloves to prevent damage. Regular dusting with a soft brush is also advisable to keep the artwork clean and well-maintained.
