EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Commemoration Thangka for the Bhimaratha Rite, created between approximately 1850 and 1875, is an anonymous work of art from the 19th century, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of South and Southeast Asian Buddhism. The thangka, a traditional Tibetan painting on cotton cloth using mineral pigments, depicts a significant ritual event at Tashi Lhunpo Monastery in Tibet. The Bhimaratha Rite is a commemorative ceremony performed to honor the memory of deceased lamas and teachers. In this thangka, we see various figures in vibrant colors and intricate detail, each playing a role in the ritual. At the center, we find the main figure of Bhimaratha, a mythical demon king, who is believed to have been subdued by the Buddha. His subjugation symbolizes the triumph of enlightenment over ignorance and desire. Surrounding Bhimaratha are figures representing different aspects of Buddhist deities, as well as various monks and lamas. The intricate details and bold colors used in this thangka exemplify the masterful artistry of the anonymous artist. The use of mineral pigments on cotton cloth was a common technique used during this period, which allowed for the creation of intricate and long-lasting works of art. This Commemoration Thangka for the Bhimaratha Rite is an important piece of Buddhist art from the 19th century, providing a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the diverse artistic and cultural heritage of Asia.
