Handmade Silver-plated Hevajra With Consort statue | Buddhist Rituals and Shrine Decor
This 13.4-inch silver-plated Hevajra with Consort statue is a stunning representation of one of Vajrayana Buddhism's most significant and powerful deities. The statue, handmade in Nepal from oxidized copper and silver-plated, represents the agony and transcendence of the Hevajra Tantra. Hevajra, shown in Yab-Yum beside his wife Nairatmya, has numerous arms and enraged feelings, each bearing symbolic sacrifices to defeated deities.
This religious sculpture, surrounded by a burning aureole symbolizing the fire of change, represents the destruction of the ego and the dance of enlightened consciousness. High-level Vajrayana practitioners, complex shrine structures, and serious collectors of Buddhist ritual art will appreciate this uncommon and powerful sculpture.
The contrast between the dark oxidized copper and the bright silver highlights lifts every detail, from the skull-cup decorations to the expressive movement frozen in heavenly dance. This statue sends powerful ceremonial energy into every spot it occupies.

Hevajra is depicted in Alidha dancing ecstatically on four maras and tightly holding his consort Nairatmya. Hevajra has an ecstatic and wrathful expression. He is an outstanding yoga Tantra deity, directly tied to changes in the Shiva Nataraja cult. Hevajra's method is believed to be extremely helpful in melting the inner drops from the brain to the groin and producing the subtle subjectivity of enormous happiness, which is crucial in Tantric activities in the perfection stage. The consort of Hevajra, Nairatmya, is a Tantric manifestation of Prajnaparamita, Mother of all Buddhas, who is a divinity of subtle wisdom in her own right.
