Correct body proportions are important in Himalayan art because it matters both in iconography and also in aesthetics. For a deity figure to be iconographically accurate and identifiable then the figure must follow certain basic conventions of appearance such as peaceful, semi-peaceful/semi-wrathful, and wrathful. Also for human figures there are the different appearances of siddha, kings, monastics and lay persons. This painting of Vajravarahi from Bhutan has excellent body proportions and is one of the best examples of its kind on the HAR site.
