Among various creative forms of Buddhist art, a sacred style of Buddhist painting was developed in Tibet, known as Thangka Painting. Thangka painting is the representation of Buddha philosophy on the flat surface. They are generally scroll paintings hanged in monasteries or rolled up for religious purpose. These paintings usually represent the scenes from the life of Lord Buddha, and of his pre-incarnation in the Jataka etc. other than this they depict the social and historical phenomenon, customs and habits of Tibet. Thangka paintings are important for Tibetans because these are considered as an important material for studying the religion, history, culture, painting, arts and craft and scientific achievements of Tibet.
