Urgent Preservation

On the Verge of Extinction

Traditional Ladakhi thangka painting has only 12 master artisans remaining. Each piece takes 3-6 months to complete using techniques unchanged for 800 years.

Without intervention, this sacred art form—integral to Ladakhi Buddhist culture—will disappear within a generation. Your support directly sustains these masters and their apprentices.
