EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century Thangka print of Vajrabhairava, found in the esteemed Collection of State Museum of Religious History in St Petersburg, transports viewers to a realm where mythology and spirituality intertwine. Created by an anonymous artist, this fine art masterpiece delves into the depths of tantric Buddhism with its intricate symbolism and vibrant colors. Vajrabhairava, also known as Yamantaka, is depicted here as a wrathful deity embodying both compassion and ferocity. The allegory and literature behind this painting invite contemplation on the duality of existence - life and death, creation and destruction. As one gazes upon this oil-on-metal composition from Buryatia region, they are drawn into the rich tapestry of Buddhist tantra. The Oriental Arts come alive through this Thangka's meticulous details that showcase the influence of Vajrayana tradition. Its portrayal serves as a visual guide for practitioners engaging in yoga tantras or seeking enlightenment through meditation. Each brushstroke tells a story steeped in ancient wisdom. As we admire this remarkable piece from afar, it reminds us not only of its artistic value but also highlights the significance held within religious artifacts like these. The State Museum of Religious History preserves such treasures to ensure their legacy endures for generations to come.
