Finely Hand-Carved Palden Lhamo Empowerment Statue
We, Vajrayana artists from Kathmandu Valley, have masterfully hand-carved the Palden Lhamo Empowerment statue in the traditional Himalayan style. The deity is depicted in this statue riding a mule over blazing flames, signifying both her prowess in negotiating treacherous terrain and her function as a defender of the Dharma. She bears a trident in her left hand, signifying her ability to overcome challenges, and a skull cup in her right hand, signifying the transience of life and the need to develop objectivity. She can also be seen wearing a crown made of skulls and a garland of human heads. Every detail has been crafted with care and precision using hammers and chisels, resulting in a truly magnificent work of art.
This piece is an excellent souvenir for any devotee like yourself and can be used in your daily practices and activities of meditation and yoga.
