Tsakli is a genre of miniature religious painting created by the peoples of Tibet, Mongolia, and Buryatia. These paintings are made for participation in rituals, such as funerary ceremonies, tantric rituals, initiations, and the transmission of knowledge. They have become substitutes for ceremonial objects or religious attributes.
