About The Book

Painter Romio Shrestha, a modern master of traditional Tibetan Buddhist enlightenment and deity art, is known for his complex and sacred designs, highlighted here in beautiful detail through these forty removable and frameable illustrations.

Romio Shrestha’s depictions of White Tara, Green Tara, the Medicine Buddha, and many other celestials invite meditation and reflection. The original artworks were made from natural ingredients like marigolds and hand-ground malachite and lapis, and were painted at times with just three hairs of a cat's tail. Each work of art took months to create and is reproduced here in hauntingly powerful detail.

Celestial Gallery: The Poster Collection, Volume I brings the most popular and breathtaking paintings from Shrestha’sCelestial Gallery series into a new poster format. The large size and full-color printing allows for a greater appreciation of the intricate details in each piece, and the removable pages make it easier than ever to display these beautiful paintings throughout the home and office.
