This statue is a powerful addition to any sacred collection, ideal for personal altars or spiritual spaces.
Vajrapani is shown with a Gold body, symbolizing his connection to cosmic forces, thunderclouds, and the indestructible power of enlightened wisdom. His muscular, dynamic form- often in a warrior's stance, one leg bent and the other extended- conveys readiness for action and the strength to confront obstacles. He holds a vajra in his right hand, the vajra represents indestructible wisdom and the power to cut through ignorance and delusion. Vajrapani often holds a lasso or snare in his left hand, symbolizing his ability to bind and subdue hostile forces and delusions. The crown adorned with five skulls represents the transcendence of the five kleshas (mental afflictions): ignorance, attachment, aversion, pride, and jealousy. A third eye on his forehead symbolizes heightened spiritual awareness and the ability to see beyond ordinary perception. Vajrapani's face is fierce, with bulging eyes, bared fangs, and a wrathful expression. This is not a sign of anger, but instead of his unwavering compassion and determination to destroy ignorance and protect sentient beings. He is surrounded by a halo of flames, which symbolizes the transformative and purifying power of his wrathful energy, burning away obstacles and delusions.
