Iconography: A Visual Dharma Teaching

Nairatmya, known as the "Lady of Emptiness," is a guide for your inner journey. 
She looks fierce, doesn't she? 
That wrath is actually aggressive compassion: she is fierce because she protects your wisdom.

• Sacred Form: 
  Her deep blue body matches the autumn sky, symbolizing a mind as vast and centerless as space itself.
• The Dance: 
  She balances dynamically on one leg. 
  This posture reminds us that true peace isn't stagnant; it's active and alive.
• The Knife: 
  In her right hand, the Kartika (flaying knife) severs the root of the ego. 
  It represents the moment you stop believing your own illusions.

The Living Landscape & Artistry

Why the black background? This Nagthang style represents the "womb" of emptiness, the dark, fertile soil from which all spiritual realization springs. 
Painted by a master in the Newari tradition, the 24K Gold flames don't just decorate the canvas; they symbolize the burning away of ignorance.
