Traditional Hand-Painted Yamantaka Benefits Statue
The statue for Yamantaka Benefits is traditionally hand-crafted here in our studio. He is depicted atop buffalo that is crushing human form. He has a bull's head with his hair flowing upwards. On the right side, we have Yami holding a skullcup. With his right hand, he holds rejuvenating red blood of Great Bliss, Raktavarna. Behind the deity, we have the halo flames. The figurine is molded using oxidized copper. We have partly gilded the face of Yamantaka and Yami, the lotus throne, and the body ornaments with genuine 24K gold. At the same time, other parts are silver-plated. The upward-flowing hair, halo flames, and facial attributes are highlighted using acrylic paintings. We used a hammer and small chisels to hand-carve the intricate design patterns. To do delicate carvings, artists must have decades of experience This sculpture may be used during Buddhist celebrations and routine yoga or meditation sessions. It took us years of hard work to complete the statue. It weighs about 10.27kg.
This will be a perfect gift to a practitioner like you from Nepal.

There are eight primary heads, with the Bodhisattva Manjushri's little crowned head at the pinnacle.
