Himalayan Oxidized Suparakirtita Namashri Statue | Enlightenment Symbol
This Oxidized Suparakirtita Namashri Statue measures 8.7 inches (22 cm) in height and 6.3 inches (16 cm) at the base. It weighs 1.46 kg and is crafted from oxidized copper, showcasing traditional Nepalese artistry.
Suparakirtita Namashri is traditionally depicted seated in the lotus position (Padmāsana), symbolizing stability and meditation. The throne or base is a lotus pedestal, representing purity and spiritual awakening, as the lotus rises unsullied from muddy waters. He wears monastic robes, signifying renunciation, simplicity, and a commitment to the spiritual path—often adorned with intricate patterns that reflect both spiritual depth and artistic devotion.
His left hand rests in his lap in the Dhyana mudra (gesture of meditation), holding an alms bowl —a symbol of deep concentration and inner peace. The hair is styled in a topknot (uṣṇīṣa), representing wisdom and spiritual attainment, often adorned with a jewel or ornament that highlights enlightened awareness.
