A Vajrasattva Thangka is a sacred painting featuring Vajrasattva, a prominent deity in Tibetan Buddhism who embodies the essence of purification and ultimate wisdom. In the thangka, Vajrasattva is depicted seated gracefully on a lotus seat, usually rendered in white or gold to signify his purity and enlightened state.
His calm and compassionate appearance illustrates his role in spiritual cleansing. He holds a vajra (a symbolic scepter) in one hand, representing the unshakable nature of enlightenment and the power to dispel ignorance, while the other hand holds a bell, symbolizing profound wisdom.
