Rahula was an important figure in the early history of Buddhism and is often remembered as the son of the Buddha himself. However, Rahula was more than just a family relationship with the Buddha; He was also an important student and an independent example of Buddhist teachings. This painting represents the deity Rahula and is often used alongside Tibetan Buddhist teachings. People display them in homes and shrines, and they are seen as sacred in monasteries.
Rahula is a wrathful protector deity in the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. He has nine heads and a large face on his belly. This image likely comes from Tibetan design. As a guardian of special teachings called "revealed treasure teachings (Terma)," Rahula became important in early Tibetan Buddhism. His lower body is shown as a coiled snake, and his upper body has four limbs, nine heads, and a thousand eyes. In the centre of his stomach, there is a large angry face.
Hand-painted in Nepal.
The natural Pigment Painting measures 26.5 Inches by 17.5 Inches, with an additional silk Thangka bordering it.
