A Tibetan Thangka is a traditonal painting or embroidered banner hung in monasteries or in family altars. The word "Thangka" means flat painting in Tibet. If embroidered,
it can be made of silk. If painted, it is illustrated on a flat cotton canvas surface while using mediums of herb, water soluble pigments(mineral or organic), and glue. The drawing technique of a Thangka requires great understanding of iconometric principles.
