Yama Dharmaraja Sculpture: Guardian of Dharma and Spiritual Reckoning
This Yama Dharmaraja Sculpture stands 16.14” (41 cm) tall, with a 11.22” (28.5 cm) base, and weighs 7.74 kg. Expertly handcrafted by skilled Nepali artisans, this powerful figure features a copper body adorned with detailed acrylic paintings and carefully inlaid gemstones. Its exceptional craftsmanship makes it a distinguished addition to altars, meditation spaces, or spiritual collections, radiating authority, sacred presence, and artistic refinement.
Yama Dharmaraja is depicted seated on a prostrate buffalo, symbolizing the subjugation of ego and ignorance, and is best known for his fierce buffalo head adorned with sharp, flaming horns and three bulging eyes. His dark blue or black body represents limitless space and ultimate wisdom, while his crown of five skulls, garland of severed heads, and bone ornaments emphasize his wrathful and protective nature. In the outer form, he holds a skull-tipped club (danda) in his right hand and a coiled lasso (pasha) in his left, while the dynamic warrior-like stance conveys his authority over life, death, and karmic law. Other forms include the inner wrathful human-like face with a flaying knife and skull cup, and the secret red form holding a wish-fulfilling jewel, each highlighting different aspects of his cosmic power and role as the upholder of dharma.
