Hi everyone,
I'm a new member that just found this website and look forward to exploring it further!
I have a question today about the history of a thangka that was given to me. I don't know the origin, and can't identify the language the symbols are written in. ANY direction would be helpful, is this Chinese perhaps? Anyone have some reliable information on the iconography of the triangles or the possible gate at the bottom of the image?
Thanks in advance!
Nick

It looks quite similar to the mandala found here:
