Hand-Carved Mahachakra Vajrapani Sculpture
The sculpture of Vajrapani was traditionally hand-carved using copper. After intense hand carving, it was gilded with real 24-karat gold. To highlight the facial expression of the deity, we used acrylic paintings. Vajrapani is portrayed with a wrathful expression standing atop a sun disc lotus seat. For the decorations, we have used valuable turquoise and jewels. He performs the mudra by holding a rope in his left hand and a vajra in his right hand. We assure you that this statue was made using the highest quality materials that will last for long period. The halo of flames had been carved using chisels and a hammer. It is further painted with acrylic paintings as well.
This statue has accurate traditional iconography and fine details and will be a perfect gift to a devotee like you from Nepal.

Vajrapani, known as “chag na dor je” in Tibetan, is one of the earliest deities of Mahayana Buddhism. He represents the power of all Buddhas. With the opening of the third eye, he looks ferocious. He is a Bodhisattva who represents the enlightened mind's energy, and his mantra reflects that characteristic. The dancing within the halo flames represents transformation. The holding of Vajra stands for power that cuts through the delusion’s darkness, and the lasso is to bind demons.
