Vajrapani Bodhisattva Statue, Plated With 24K Gold
This 24K gold-gilded statue of Vajrapani is handmade by an artist from Kathmandu. His facial expression reflects the severity with which he is restraining his sympathy. As he strides atop a sun disc surrounded by mesmerizing crafted halo behind him with the texture of skull heads, our artist has made a wrathful impression, baring four fangs. His long, flowing hair flows furiously above, and his brows, mustache, and beard are flame-shaped. Vajrapani's wisdom third eye sits at the center of his brow, encircled by flames of understanding energy erupting from every pore of his muscular body. He holds a vajra in his right hand and a lasso in his left.

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.
