☛ Torma: What is Troma
Torma (Skt: Balingta, Tib: Tor-ma, Wylie: gtor ma) are figures made mostly of flour and butter used in tantric rituals or as offerings in Tibetan Buddhism. They may be dyed in different colors, often with white or red for the main body of the torma. They are made in specific shapes based on their purpose, usually conical in form. A very large, central shrine torma may be constructed for festivals, though typically they are small and placed directly on a shrine, on a plate, mounted on leather or held on a special base like a skull.
☛ About Color Finishing
The Torma is adorned with traditional colors, creating a captivating aesthetic through a combination of gold and various hues. This painting technique follows a time-honored process that aims to faithfully represent the Torma in accordance with traditional color descriptions. In the context of Buddhist statues, this approach holds great significance. Each statue has its own primary color, and it is crucial to depict the statue in its authentic shade.
