Golden Guhya Samaja Statue | Himalayan Handmade Artwork
The Golden Guhya Samaja Statue measures 13.4” (34 cm) in height and 10.2” (26 cm) at the base, weighing 7.05 kg. It is made of copper, covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding, and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect. Handcrafted by skilled artisans, the statue is further detailed with intricate gold and acrylic paintings. It represents the profound tantric deity Guhyasamaja in his yab-yum form, embodying the union of method and wisdom. This sacred piece is a powerful addition to tantric practice spaces, altars, or advanced Vajrayana collections.
In his iconography, this tantric deity is depicted with three faces, symbolizing his all-seeing wisdom across the past, present, and future. He is shown in yab-yum union with his consort, who holds a bell and vajra, representing the inseparability of wisdom (prajñā) and method (upāya). Together, they embody the dynamic balance of enlightened qualities. The central figure is richly adorned with multiple ritual and Buddhist items, each carrying deep symbolic meaning. In his right hand, he performs the varada mudra (gesture of generosity) while holding the wheel of Dharma, symbolizing the continuous turning of the Buddha’s teachings. His left arm also carries both a sword, representing the cutting of ignorance, and another wheel of Dharma, reinforcing his role as a spiritual guide. His main hands hold the vajra and bell, the core tantric implements signifying compassion and wisdom in union. The consort complements this with a sword and an utpala flower, signifying clarity, purity, and the awakened mind. This rich visual symbolism underscores the deity's role as a fierce yet compassionate protector and transmitter of ultimate truth in Vajrayana Buddhism.
