Classic Oxidized Copper Kalachakra Mantra Practice Statue
We, Vajrayana artists from Kathmandu Valley, have masterfully hand-carved the Kalachakra Mantra Practice Sculpture in the traditional Himalayan style. This piece was handcrafted with hammers and chisels in our studio for a couple of years. It is filled with intricate details and is comprised of oxidized copper, giving it an element of antiquity. It is also partially gilded with gold and silver and has beautiful gemstones.
The wrathful deity Kalachakra is accompanied by his consort Vishvamata in the statue. The two are depicted in the union, which represents the union of wisdom and compassion, which are essential for achieving enlightenment. Both the deity and his consort can be seen standing on the sun disc lotus seat over two human figures that represent the triumph of good over evil. The two figures are surrounded by fiery motifs as a representation of the teachings of Kalachakra's transforming power, which is claimed to lead to the achievement of supreme wisdom and enlightenment. The deity is depicted with multiple arms, each holding an item iconic to his divine powers and abilities.
We can guarantee that the statue was made using only the best materials and will last a very long time. The ideal Buddhist shrine addition can be a meditative accompaniment for yourself or any devotee.
