A Vajradhara thangka is a sacred Tibetan Buddhist painting that features Vajradhara, the primordial Buddha and the source of all tantric teachings. Vajradhara is revered as the ultimate expression of enlightenment, embodying the union of wisdom and compassion.
In the thangka, Vajradhara is typically depicted in a seated posture, often in the vajra position, where his legs are crossed in a meditative pose. He is shown with a deep blue body, symbolizing the vastness of space and the Dharmakaya, the truth body of the Buddha. This blue color also signifies the immutability and transcendence of Vajradhara’s nature.
