Visitors attend a thangka exhibition in Lhasa， capital of southwest Chinas Tibet Autonomous Region， on April 27. The exhibition， featuring some 170 works of three masters and their disciples， aimed to promote the preservation of this traditional Tibetan art form.
Thangkas are painted with mineral and organic pigments on cotton and silk canvases. They depict various subjects ranging from Buddhist deities to Tibetan medicine.
