Tibetan Buddhist Marici Bodhisattva Thangka — The Goddess of Light, Protection, and Dawn
This exquisite Tibetan Thangka painting depicts Marici Bodhisattva (摩利支天菩萨), the radiant goddess of dawn, light, and invisible protection in Vajrayana Buddhism. Known as the “Goddess of the Sun Rays,” Marici embodies the power of clarity, courage, and transformation — shielding practitioners from harm and guiding them through the darkness of ignorance.
Each Thangka is purely hand-painted on traditional canvas using natural mineral pigments, created by Tibetan artisans with centuries-old Thangka techniques. The delicate brushwork and luminous tones reflect both spiritual devotion and fine artistic mastery, making this a sacred and timeless piece of Buddhist art.
🌞 Symbolism of Marici (摩利支天)
Marici rides upon a boar or chariot drawn by seven pigs, representing the power to overcome the seven inner obstacles — ignorance, fear, pride, envy, desire, anger, and doubt. As the goddess of the rising sun, she embodies the light of awareness and the strength of compassion that dissolves illusion and brings protection to all beings.
🐉 Twelve Zodiac Elements in the Thangka
The Thangka incorporates the twelve Chinese zodiac animals — Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
In Buddhist cosmology, these animals symbolize the cycle of karma and rebirth, representing how Marici’s radiant wisdom pervades all realms of existence. The zodiac circle signifies balance, harmony, and cosmic protection — ensuring light shines through the turning of samsara.
