HIMALAYAN ART MUSEUM 

The museum is aimed to introduce the onlookers to the highest quality of artistic expressions in Buddhist thangka paintings possible in the 21st century and to depict the 2300 years journey of Buddhist paintings to the world under one roof. The ‘Himalayan Arts Museum’ was completed in the year 2020 and exhibits 40 masterpiece paintings created in a span of 25 years. Some paintings have taken five to seven years to complete and are almost 12 feet high! Master Locho and Dr. Sarika continue to create masterpiece paintings aimed to preserve the rich cultural heritage of India, especially the Himalayan region and the state of Himachal Pradesh. 

The Museum consists of the Tara Gallery and Tibet Gallery along with a shop, live working studio and a café for Museum visitors. The Museum allows visitors to visit the galleries and workshops and courses. 

The museum also showcases the sacred materials like mineral pigments, glue, pure gold and silver along with the sacred tools used in the creation of the paintings. Digital visual images take us through the steps in the creation of each painting and the details involved, which we may have easily missed while viewing the paintings.  

The museum, in the spiritual context, allows one to experience the transcendental and the celestial space of the enlightened beings- the deities; the journey from the mundane to the profound. The beauty and the divinity of these exceptional spiritual artworks is indeed an elevating experience! 

TARA GALLERY 

Tara Gallery exhibits 15 exclusive large masterpiece paintings depicting the journey of Buddhist paintings from India to Tibet and from Tibet back to India through Goddess Green Tara. This was made possible only through years of intense research, mastery over the tradition and through the artistic expressions of Master Locho and Dr Sarika Singh.  

Goddess Green Tara, here, can be seen depicting stylistic evolution that happened at Ajanta caves in Maharashtra; Tabo Monastery in Spiti, Himachal Pradesh; Alchi monastery in Ladakh; Tibet and finally the Indian mainland particularly Dharamsala.   

Goddess Green Tara can also be seen painted in pure gold and pure silver apart from many forms.  

TIBET GALLERY
