This exquisite sculpture, standing at 33.5cm tall, captures the dynamic union of deities, radiating powerful spiritual energy. Crafted from a robust copper body, its presence promises to be a focal point of any sacred space, merging profound spirituality with refined aesthetic appeal.
Chakrasamvara is portrayed in union (yab-yum) with his consort Vajravarahi, symbolizing the inseparable union of method (compassion) and wisdom (insight). Chakrasamvara’s body is typically dark blue or black, representing the all-embracing nature of emptiness and transcendence of duality. He is depicted with multiple arms, often twelve or more, each holding ritual implements like vajras, bells, and other tantric symbols, signifying his mastery over the ten directions and the transformation of negative forces into enlightened qualities. His fierce expression, with bulging eyes and fangs, expresses the energy needed to cut through ignorance and obstacles on the spiritual path.
Vajravarahi, the consort, usually has a red or dark red body and is shown embracing Chakrasamvara, representing the dynamic, wisdom aspect of enlightenment. The crown of skulls on Chakrasamvara and the garland of severed heads or ornaments symbolizes the transcendence of ego and impermanence. The deity pair stands on a lotus and sun-moon base, emphasizing purity and the union of opposites. The backdrop of flaming aureole (prabhamandala) represents the consuming power of enlightened awareness, burning away all obscurations.

Chakrasamvara is a principal meditational deity (Yidam) in Tantric Buddhism, particularly within the Kagyu and Sakya traditions. He represents the highest yoga tantra, embodying the union of method (compassion) and wisdom (emptiness). Vajravarahi, his consort, is a powerful Dakini and embodies the wisdom aspect, often depicted in fierce, ecstatic dance.
