This Old Thangka represents Heruka Chakrasamvara deity, with his consort Vajravarahi. Hand painted on paper canvas, with natural colors, and refined with gold details, Brocade Dimension : 118 x 73 cm about. Period : 19th /20th Century Origin ; Tibet/Mongolia A primary Tantric meditation and yogic deity or yidam of Vajrayana and esoteric Buddhism, Chakrasamvara. In Tibetan he is known as khor-lo-dem-chog and in English as the ‘Wheel of Bliss’. The deity is a popular feature in Himalayan monasteries, thangkas, mandalas and statues especially in Kagyu, Sakya and Gelugpa schools of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as Newari Buddhism. The Chakrasamvara icon is usually seen in a sexual embrace with his yogini consort Vajravarahi. The two together are key deities in the Vajrayana sect that unite two powerful tenets of esoteric Buddhism, wisdom (as embodied by Vajravarahi) and compassion (as embodied by Chakrasamvara). As mentioned in the Chakrasamvara Tantra and other Sanskrit and Buddhist texts, Chakrasamvara is usually considered a semi-wrathful deity. Despite its pervading presence, the Chakrasamvara mandala has limited visual imagery in the public. The ritual practices and visual depictions surrounding the Chakrasamvara and Vajravarahi remain open secrets restricted to selected groups of Buddhist practitioners. The material is paper canvas, and the colors are water-soluble pigments, both minerals and organic materials, tempered with a solution of grass and glue.
