Historical Tibetan Buddhist Master Mahasiddha Virupa Statue
The Mahasiddha Virupa Statue was traditionally hand-carved with a copper body and gilded with real 24-karat gold. We are artists from the Kathmandu Valley whose craft has been passed down from generation to generation. The statue has been expertly constructed, and beautiful corals, turquoise, and stones have been used as ornaments. High-quality materials, including 24k gold, copper, and gemstones, were utilized to create this statue. We have artistically hand-painted the deity with different acrylic paintings. This makes the statue look even more captivating.
You may use this Buddha sculpture indoors for Buddhist ceremonies and meditation practice. Himalayan art is very useful for gift-giving and house décor.

In the 7th-8th centuries CE, Mahasiddha Virupa, the Lord of All Yogis, was born into a royal family in east India. Later, he gave up his royal life to become a monk. At the temple of Somapuri in India, he received ordination from the abbot Vinayadeva and the teacher Jayakirti. He constructed a modest stone temple filled with depictions of the Triple Gem, which purified his parents' obscurations. Virupa kept the Chakrasamvara practice at night while teaching the Sutrayana, disputing, and writing Dharma books during the day. He did this for a long time without seeing any results or achieving any goals. On the contrary, he ran into a slew of misfortunes and got disillusioned with his profession.
