Tsha Tsha

Tsha Tsha are mini-statues of Buddha, stupas, or Buddhist scriptures done in relief images made out of a one-side mould or round stupas completed by two-side mould. They are mainly used to fill the inner shrines of bigger stupas, statues, or special shrines, and worshiped at the places like Tsha-khang, snow mountains and caves.

Tibetans make Tsha Tsha to accumulate Buddhist merit. They are also used as objects for dispelling illness or praying for good luck.

Tsha Tsha, a Tibetan transliteration of the Sanskrit word, is the clay votive tablet in Tibetan Buddhism, a typical representation of Tibetan Buddhist arts.

 Tangka

Tangka, seen in every monastery and family shrine in Tibet, has been in vogue in Tibet for centuries. It is the art of Tibetan scroll-banner painting and mainly depicts the images of Buddha, eminent monks and folk customs.

The pigments contribute greatly to the uniqueness of Tangka. They are made from natural materials such as rare metals and plants, and carefully mixed and processed by hand. Thus a well-kept Tangka still shines gorgeously generation after generation.
