Himalayan Buddhist Traditional Vajrapāṇi Golden Statue
This magnificent Vajrapāṇi Golden Statue was painstakingly hand carved and exquisitely painted in pure 24k gold. We created our own robs, faces, and a variety of other ornaments and accessories. The Nepali artist skillfully sculpted and gilded the statue in copper with pure 24k gold. The deity is depicted with a wrathful expression, standing on a sun disc lotus seat. To even further highlight the wrathful expression of the lord, we have very detailly painted acrylic paints over the face. Because of this very beautiful, deeply engraved carving, it took a couple of months to wholly make this divine statuette.

Vajrapani, holding a Diamond Scepter, is the manifestation of all of the buddhas' boundless power and the first meditational deity in this series to be depicted in a wrathful form. He is standing, adorned in a tiger silk cloth and donning a deep blue color. His hands are in a menacing mudra, which is used to overcome obstacles, and his right hand is holding a vajra, which represents the enlightened force of full spiritual awakening. He has a third eye of wisdom on his forehead, and flames of wisdom energy emanate from all of his mighty body's pores. The name Vajrapani refers to the wielder of the Vajra, which represents the power of total enlightenment.
