Karma Gadri is a regional style of thangka painting originating from the eastern regions of Amdo and Kham.

The term has been applied to a diverse set of arts associated with the Chamdo, Khampa Gar and Palpung monasteries.

Artistically, the Karma Gadri is defined by the juxtaposition of presence of the deity (or Yidam) in the foreground depicted in the Khyenri style (defined by a bright colour palette and fine attention to detail in terms of depiction of the face) on a background of soft pastels that are inspired by the Chinese watercolour tradition.
