This Hayagriva Statue stands at 13.78”/35cm in height and 11.02”/28cm at the base, weighing 5.47 kg. Made from a 24K gold-gilded copper body with acrylic paintings and hand-carved gemstones, it reflects the exceptional craftsmanship of skilled Nepali artisans. Covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect, this statue exudes both grace and power. Ideal for altars, meditation spaces, or meaningful spiritual displays, this piece brings a powerful and dynamic presence to any sacred environment.
The statue portrays Hayagriva in his wrathful yet compassionate form, standing firmly on two subdued beings to symbolise the overcoming of inner obstacles. His three faces—each wearing a five-pointed crown and adorned with three piercing eyes—radiate fierce wisdom (prajñā). His main hands hold a lotus flower and a skull cup, while multiple surrounding hands grasp ritual implements such as the vajra, axe, sword, and lasso, representing the cutting of ignorance and binding of negative forces. Hayagriva embraces his consort, symbolizing the union of wisdom and method, while vibrant wings extend from his back. He stands atop a lotus base beneath a radiant halo, emphasising his enlightened power.

Hayagriva is a prominent wrathful yidam (meditation deity) in Tibetan Buddhism, recognized as a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion. He is revered for his swift and powerful ability to dispel hindrances, sickness, and negative forces, particularly those arising from ignorance and attachment. His iconic horse-head attribute signifies his powerful roar, capable of shattering illusions and awakening practitioners to their true nature.
