The wheel of life thangka is interpreted into several levels and is divided into six realms namely, God, Demi-gods, Animals, Hell, Human and Hungry ghosts. We have used natural stone colors to create a subtler tone. Painted on the size of 20x30 canvas, every detail of each realm of existence is clearly portrayed here.
