There are Three Main Painting Subjects and Compositional Types in Himalayan Art. The first is Figurative art with depictions of people and deities. The second is Diagrammatic represented by Mandalas, Charts, Refuge Fields and Wheel of Life paintings. The third is the Narrative type which can either have a central figure or no central figure.
