Bajradhara

GT.8566

A Bajradhara Thangka is a sacred Tibetan Buddhist painting that depicts Vajradhara, the primordial Buddha and embodiment of the highest state of enlightenment. In this Thangka, Vajradhara is typically illustrated seated in a meditative posture, often against a backdrop of vibrant colors and intricate designs that symbolize the cosmos and the interconnectedness of all things.

Vajradhara is usually shown in a deep blue hue, representing the infinite, unchanging nature of space and the mind. He holds a vajra (thunderbolt scepter) in his right hand and a bell in his left, crossed at his chest, symbolizing the union of wisdom and compassion, which are the essential qualities of enlightenment. The surrounding motifs often include other deities, offering goddesses, and various auspicious symbols, all intricately woven into the design to convey the profound spiritual significance of Vajradhara.
