Tibetan Protection Hayagriva Buddhist Statue | Protector Deity
The Hayagriva Buddhist Statue stands 13.4 inches tall with an 8.9-inch base width and weighs 5.57 kg. This beautifully handmade statue is composed of copper and completed with superb 24K gold gilding and detailed acrylic paintings. Hayagriva, noted for his ferocious protective spirit, is seen with a horse's head rising from his crown, representing his ability to remove obstacles and disperse harmful forces.
Here in the statue, the deity is depicted standing on the lotus throne with 3 faces, 6 hands, and 4 legs. He holds his consort, Vajravarahi, in a passionate embrace. This union signifies the ideal harmony between knowledge and sympathy. They also possess skull bowls overflowing with the blood of the four maras, representing their enlightened knowledge and triumph over death's powers. The five aggregates are purified by their human skull-adorned crowns, while Krodishvari's lengthy chain purifies the inner winds of skulls. It took us months and months of hard work to complete the statue to make it perfect for decor.

In Tibetan Buddhism, Lord Hayagriva is a wrathful form of Avalokitesvara. There are said to be 108 different varieties of Hayagriva. Avalokitesvara, a Bodhisattva, is one of the most well-known deities in Buddhism's Mahayana pantheon. In the Mahāvirocana sūtra, Hayagrīva is described as a Vidyaraja who is situated next to the figure of Avalokitesvara in the depiction of the vast Magic circle or Mandala. Additionally, according to renowned Buddhist missionary Bodhiruci, Vidyaraja Hayagriva was associated with Amoghapasa as a unique element of Avalokitesvara.
