The Tibetan Prosperity Deity Guru Norla stands at 11.4 inches (29 cm) in height, with a base width of 8.7 inches (22 cm), and weighs approximately 2.72 kg, making it a substantial and striking centerpiece for any altar or sacred space. It is made of copper, covered with a triple layer of 24K gold gilding, and carved with deeply engraved carvings that produce a magnificent 3D-like effect. This sculpture, adorned with hand-carved gemstones, handcrafted by expert Nepalese artisans, elegantly symbolizes Himalayan Buddhism's sacred traditions, making it an appropriate addition to altars, meditation places, or sacred collections.
Guru Norla is depicted in a majestic, seated posture upon a lotus throne, symbolizing purity and spiritual realization. He is adorned in elaborate, royal robes, often featuring intricate patterns and gold embellishments, which signify his mastery of both worldly and spiritual wealth. Guru Norla wears a five-petaled lotus crown, a hallmark of Guru Rinpoche’s iconography, representing the five wisdoms and the union of skillful means and wisdom. He holds a wish-fulfilling jewel (cintamani) in both hands at his heart. This jewel is the central symbol of Guru Norla and represents his ability to grant both material and spiritual riches to practitioners. The jewel signifies the fulfillment of wishes and abundance. Cradled in his left arm is the khaṭvāṅga, a tantric staff, symbolizing his consort and mastery of tantric practices. Rich jewelry and ornaments further emphasize his association with wealth and the fulfillment of wishes.
