The Tibetans has a long history dating back to ancient times. The dazzling national culture they created in the past centuries is an important integral part of China's cultural heritage. The Thanga, a well-known form of religious art, is part of the Tibetan culture. Most of the Thangas are scroll paintings mounted on coloured satin. They are distinctively Tibetan, highly religious and possess a unique art style of their own. The Tibetans have always considered the Thanga a Treasure of tremendous value.
