World's largest Thangka painting is set to go on exhibition in three cities in Nepal. The thangka painting measuring a whooping 70 m by 50 m will be displayed at the Dashrath Rangasala stadium in Kathmandu, at Lumbini Garden in Lumbini and at Basundhara Park in Pokhara. The thangka is currently housed in Japan and will be displayed in Nepal in November.
It has been previously displayed at the Rangashala in october 2012. The exhibition has been organized by the Nepal Tourism Board and Nepal Council for Preservation of Buddhist Religion in association with Japan based (NPO) M21 network.
The announcement about the coming exhibition was made during a press meet organized at Nepal Tourism Board on Thursday. The event saw the presence of Surya Bahadur Thakali, Chairperson of the Nepal Council for Preservation of Buddhist religion, Yasutada katagiri, Chairperson of (NPO) M21 Network and the event co-ordinator Prabhat Rimal along with the journalists and thangka enthusiasts. The Thangka depicts the life story of Lord Gautam Buddha summarizing the life cycle of Buddha in twelve deeds.
This kind of event would help Nepal Tourism in promotion around the globe and convey the message that Nepal is safe for travel.
