The Golden Vajrabhairava statue depicts this fierce form of Manjushri with a striking buffalo head, symbolizing immense strength and wrathful compassion. Vajrabhairava is portrayed with multiple faces, arms, and legs—each element charged with deep symbolic meaning. Eight additional heads encircle his central face, all crowned by a five-skull crown symbolizing the transformation of the five poisons—ignorance, attachment, aversion, pride, and jealousy—into the five wisdoms. His sixteen arms hold a variety of ritual implements, including a vajra axe, a staff topped with three skulls, an arrow, a damaru drum, and a phurba dagger—each representing specific aspects of spiritual power, protection, and the destruction of illusion. At the statue’s base, subdued Mara spirits represent the internal and external obstacles to enlightenment, crushed beneath Vajrabhairava’s dynamic stance, signifying the victory of transcendent wisdom (prajñā) over ignorance (avidyā). This masterfully crafted statue embodies Vajrabhairava’s role as a powerful protector and remover of all barriers on the spiritual path.
