A paubhā (Devanagari: पौभा) is a traditional religious painting made by the Newar people of Nepal. Paubhās depict deities, mandalas or monuments, and are used to help the practitioners in meditation. The Tibetan equivalent is known as thangka. The main difference between thangka and paubha is that thangka is a Buddhist art, while paubha is used for both Hindu and Buddhist art by the Newar community.
