【Description】
Samantabhadra represents vast vows and perfect practice, revered as “Foremost in Conduct.” Depicted riding a six-tusked white elephant—symbolizing the six pāramitās brought to full completion—this miniature thangka shows the Bodhisattva with a serene expression, luminous colors, and delicate cloud patterns characteristic of the Karma Gadri aesthetic.
【Karma Gadri Technique & Difficulty】
The Karma Gadri dot-shading technique builds color through countless micro-dots, creating smooth gradients and gentle radiance. This process is highly time-consuming, and on a small 4×5 cm canvas, precision becomes exceptionally challenging, making the finished piece especially fine and collectible.
