    Absolutely beautiful! Arrived very quickly, well before the promise date. I will definitely order again from this shop!

    The thangka is beautiful, the colours are a bit different in reality as the picture was taken with flash. However, the parcel was only sent off after 10+ days after purchase and I had to contact multiple times for updates, so the wait was longer than stated. Contact with the shop owner is alright, she doesn't always reply though. As this is a more expensive thangka I would have expected a bit better service on the shipping and contact. But the product itself is pretty.

    I had bought a mandala years ago during a trip to Nepal but it was destroyed by my dog. This mandala that was shipped from Nepal was just as beautiful! I’m thrilled by the quality, vibrant colors and details.

    These paintings are incredible. Intricate detail, highest quality fabrics and paint, and who knows how many hours of labor went into this piece. The quality is remarkable. These have been done the same way for hundreds of years. I bought this piece for my sister who is an art conservationist at Stanford university, she knew exactly what it was and this piece is now in good hands, someone who will love and appreciate its beauty every day. Thank you for the hard work put it, Amazing work.
