Himalayan Tsongkhapa Set for Shrine | Made In Nepal
Handcrafted in Nepal, this Tsongkhapa statue set for a shrine is made of oxidized copper and embellished with 24K gold gilding and delicate acrylic paints, which highlight their refined spiritual presence. The robe's intricacy, tranquil smiles, and hand movements (mudras) show both handcrafted perfection and deep symbolism.
Standing at 11.8 inches, Tsongkhapa is the primary figure, exuding the essence of ultimate wisdom and compassion. He is flanked by Je Gyaltsab and Je Khedrup, both a little smaller at 10.6 inches but equally royal in portrayal. This trio makes a full Tibetan Buddhist altar set, representing the transmission of enlightened teachings down the years.
This is a legacy item, not just decor. Whether in a personal shrine, meditation room, or temple, the 10.6 kg ensemble exudes a strong presence. The statues not only provide a focal point for devotional rituals but also act as a spiritual companion on your journey to inner peace.

Tsongkhapa (1357–1419) is a well-known Tibetan religious philosopher. A devout monastic, Tsongkhapa took on the difficult task of locating and studying all of the Indian Buddhist classics available in Tibet in his day. In his iconic form, wearing a tall yellow hat, he is the center of the Gelugpa sect that was dominant in Tibet until the Chinese takeover in 1951, and whose de facto leader is the Dalai Lama.
Gyaltsab Je was Lama Tsongkhapa's most famous student. He oversaw the building of Gaden Monastery (established by Lama Tsongkhapa) and was named its second monk after Tsongkhapa. After Lama Tsongkhapa's death, he became the Gaden Tripa, or "holder of the Gaden Throne," the Gelug tradition's head.
Khedrup Je was a prolific author, writing fifty-eight treatises and numerous prayer books. His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, uses an essential scripture on Kalachakra as the foundation for his Kalachakra Tantra empowerments.
