Golden Fierce White Mahakala Statue | Tibetan Buddhist Protector Deity
This Golden Fierce White Mahakala statue, also known as the Protector of the Path, measures 14.6”/37cm in height and 11.2”/28.5cm at the base, weighing 4.48 kg. Made from copper gilded with 24K gold and enhanced with gold and acrylic paintings, this piece is crafted using traditional materials with delicate detailing. Expertly crafted by skilled Nepali artisans, this piece reflects traditional craftsmanship and makes a refined addition to compact altars, meditation spaces, or personal spiritual collections.
White Mahakala is shown holding a kartikya, a curved ritual knife that represents cutting through ego and ignorance, and a damaru drum in his right hands, symbolizing the sound of Dharma and the cycle of creation and destruction. In his left hands, he carries a kapala with a nectar vase, which signifies the transformation of opposing forces into wisdom and the continuous flow of spiritual blessings, along with a vajra axe symbolizing the unbreakable power of wisdom, and a trident that represents the conquest of the three poisons—ignorance, desire, and hatred. Rather than the usual five-skull crown associated with Mahakala, he wears a crown decorated with five jewels, symbolizing the enlightened qualities of the five Buddha families. His three eyes reflect all-seeing wisdom, simultaneously perceiving the past, present, and future. With a fierce and intimidating face framed by fiery hair, he embodies wrathful compassion and the ability to overcome obstacles. White Mahakala stands firmly on two elephant-headed figures, symbolizing his dominance over powerful opposing forces. A glowing halo surrounds him as he rests on a lotus base shaped like a sun disc, representing purity and the illumination of wisdom from worldly suffering.
