Besides Buddhist themes, Tangka paintings also feature history, customs and legendary figures of Tibet.

Tangka, or Tibetan Buddhist story painting, is  a fascinating element of Tibet autonomous  region's culture.

Xi Hedao, Inheritor of Tangka Painting, said, "This is a Buddhisattava with four arms. It is auspicious and brings peace."

Xi Hedao has taken in thirty apprentices including his son. Tangka art is slowly drawing attention across the world, and increasing orders from across the globe have attracted more young people to develop their skills.
