Himalayan Art of Buddha of Longlife Amitayus
The Amitayus Sculpture was meticulously hand-carved in Nepal using traditional Himalayan art. The deity is depicted seated on a moon disc lotus holding a vase filled with the nectar of immortality. Copper was utilized in the statue's molding. This has hand-carved artistic design patterns. The statue's two most prominent features are its robe and crown. With corals and gemstones, we have embellished them. We hand-carved the patterns and gilded the figurine in real 24K gold.

Amitayus, of the Aparimitagunasamchaya or Amitavyhavat pure world, is usually shown in his apparitional buddha form (sambhogakaya), red in color, wearing a crown and jewels, and holding a long-life vase over two hands in a meditation gesture. A Buddha is said to have three bodies in the Mahayana Buddhist tradition: a form body (nirmanakaya), an apparitional body (sambhogakaya), and an ultimate truth body (sambhogakaya) (dharmakaya).
