Description

This mini thangka presents Eight-Armed Vajrabhairava,

the wrathful manifestation of Mañjuśrī,

symbolizing the destruction of ignorance, fear, and inner obstacles.

The deity appears in a powerful multi-headed, multi-armed form,

each hand holding symbolic implements that cut through delusion.

The composition is dense yet balanced, with intense presence.

Songbu’s modern Karma Gadri style is evident in:

softly rolling gold clouds, a deep blue background,

layered flames in gold, orange, red, and dark blue,

and solid, well-defined musculature that emphasizes strength and stability.
