Did You Know?

Nepalese devotional paintings on cloth are called "paubha" in the Newari language.
A vertical gum tempera and ink painting depicts a large Buddha in a red robe seated on a throne, facing right while holding an object. Beside him, devotees sit beneath swirling clouds populated by smaller deities. Against a black background, warm red and gold tones highlight ornate halos. A row of ten figures crowns the top, while a dense grid of miniature rectangular scenes frames the composition, capturing a structured narrative.
