Kalachakra; དུས་ཀྱི་འཁོར་ལོ།
In a loving embrace, the male Buddha Kalachakra and his female partner, Vishvamata, represent the ideal of full enlightenment, the highest knowledge that brings spiritual freedom. In Buddhism, male deities symbolize compassionate actions, while female deities represent wisdom. Their union is vital for achieving the enlightened state of a Buddha. Kalachakra wears an elephant-skin cape, signifying the end of ignorance, and a tiger-skin loincloth, showing the end of hatred. Together, they overcome anger (represented by a trident and drum) and desire (represented by a bow and arrow). With their arms spread wide and faces looking in all directions, they embody total power and knowledge.
Hand-painted in Nepal.
The natural pigment painting measures 28 Inches by 19 Inches, with an additional silk Thangka bordering it.
