Black Gold Mani Mantra Mandala Thangka Large Circular Black Thangka with Gold Script – Hand-Painted in Nepal (70 × 70 cm, Framed)

Product Overview

This Black Gold Mani Mantra Mandala Thangka is a large-format Tibetan Buddhist artwork painted in the traditional Black Thangka (Nag Thangka) technique. Created on a deep black ground and meticulously drawn with gold script, the composition presents the Six-Syllable Mani Mantra (Om Mani Padme Hum) arranged in a precise circular mandala structure.

The artwork is framed with a solid wood frame and designed for wall hanging, making it suitable for prominent spaces such as living rooms, entryways, studies, offices, and cultural or commercial interiors.

Visual Composition & Mandala Structure (Based on the Artwork)

As shown in the image, this thangka features:

• A perfectly symmetrical circular mandala layout

• Dense, continuous repetition of the Mani Mantra in Tibetan script

• A central seed syllable anchoring the entire composition

• Multiple concentric rings of mantra text radiating outward

• An ornate gold outer border that frames and stabilizes the visual field

This circular structure reflects the Buddhist concept of unceasing compassion and cyclical wisdom, guiding the viewer’s gaze inward toward stillness and outward toward boundless activity.

The Mani Mantra & Its Symbolism

Om Mani Padme Hum is the principal mantra of Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig), the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion. In Himalayan Buddhist tradition, the mantra represents the union of compassion and wisdom.

Each syllable is traditionally associated with the purification of suffering across different realms of existence:

• Om – Heavenly realms

• Ma – Asura realms of conflict

• Ni – Human suffering of birth, aging, illness, and death

• Pad – Animal realm hardships

• Me – Hungry ghost craving and deprivation

• Hum – Extremes of the hell realms

The circular repetition visible in this artwork symbolizes the mantra’s continuous presence, without beginning or end.

Black Thangka (Nag Thangka) Tradition

This piece belongs to the Black Gold Thangka tradition, a rare and advanced form of Tibetan Buddhist painting.

• Black background conveys depth, authority, mystery, and ritual gravity

• Gold line work represents light, clarity, and the highest form of devotional offering

• The emphasis on line over color heightens visual focus and meditative intensity

Historically, Black Thangka art evolved through the integration of indigenous Bon traditions and Vajrayana Buddhism, making it especially suitable for mantra mandalas, protector themes, and esoteric symbolism.
