About Our Statue :

The Shakya Mahakala figurine stands 64 cm tall, is crafted from wood, and weighs 4.71 kg. As a powerful protector and one of the key deities in Tibetan Buddhism, Mahakala is shown with a semi-wrathful expression, highlighting his protective and transformative powers. His face is detailed with teeth, emphasizing his ability to ward off evil and remove obstacles. The third eye on his forehead symbolizes his ability to see through illusions and understand the truth. His long ears, adorned with circular earrings, emphasize his alertness and wisdom. At the same time, his curly hair represents his dynamic, untamable nature as he dances in a pose that conveys both strength and movement.

The five-jewel crown Mahakala wears represents his supreme authority and the five wisdoms, enhancing the statue's divine and regal aspects. He holds a skullcup in his left hand, symbolizing the transformation of negative energy into positive energy. Around his neck, he wears garlands of freshly cut heads, signifying his mastery over death and his ability to eliminate spiritual obstacles. The bangle accessories on his hands and legs further accentuate his majestic and warrior-like appearance, adding to his powerful form.

The figurine is seated on a sun disc lotus base, symbolizing his purification and the unfolding of wisdom through his fierce appearance. His dancing posture reflects his dynamic, energetic nature, continually working to destroy ignorance and clear the path for spiritual growth. Mahakala’s form is both fierce and compassionate. He helps practitioners by removing obstacles, allowing them to progress toward enlightenment. This finely crafted statue captures the perfect balance of wrath and compassion, representing Mahakala’s role as a protector and guide in Buddhist practice.

Introduction To Sakya Mahakala :

Mahakala is the guardian deity of the Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhist schools. He expresses himself in various ways, each with its own set of attributes and characteristics. He is sometimes seen as the emanation of specific entities, such as Avalokitesvara or Chakrasamvara. The five kleshas (adverse diseases) are transformed into the five pearls of knowledge, and Mahakala is usually shown with a crown of five skulls.

How do take care of your statues?

• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is completely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a
glass cabinet.
• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching with the bare hand objects can
smudge the face, leaving scratches.

    I received the thangka very quickly in beautiful condition. It was very carefully wrapped in multiple protective layers, many thanks to Enlightenment Thangka for their care. The thangka itself is beautifully done, printed on canvas with meticulous attention to detail. Very much looking forward to getting it framed and on the wall!

    I had a wonderful experience buying a Thangka from Enlightenment Thangka. The quality of their products is top-notch, delivery was quick, the staff were very friendly, and the packaging was excellent. I highly recommend them and am already looking forward to placing my next order.

    Such a beautiful thangka. It carries many blessings. The image itself is masterfully painted with great devotion. The brochade fabric quality is incredibly high and it is sewn with great skill and care. The thangka on the left was also purchased from “Enlightenment Thangka” a couple of years ago and it is also of this same high quality as the Guru Rinpoche in the right. I cannot recommend these people enough. Beautiful devoted work.

    Is a long waiting lesson I’ve been looking forward. For someone totally new, this is really an amazing experience to explore your hidden talent in Thangka drawing. I’m grateful the Enlightenment Thangka team’s great coordination to make this happened, the Thangka master, Nyam la that patiently guided me through my journey. He was very patience to explain every single line during the lesson, he puts things in a very simple way, never rush on me. Yet, he spent time to looking into my drawing upon my submission. He also sending back his feedback in details to further guiding me to perfect the drawing line.

    The master and team encouragements truly keeping my momentum to perfecting my drawing. This amazing journey had let me experiencing my inner peace, the hidden talent I’ve never knew, part of my spiritual journey. I will definitely will keep continuing my journey with them in future to fulfill my dream.

    Sharing my in progress Thangka artwork. ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཆེ། 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Very nice and warm shopping experience. The statue is firmly packed and protected during transport. Looking forward to my next order!

    Although Tangton Gyalpo is a major Lama, it is not easy to find tankhas depicting him. This one is just perfect.

    Excellent service and beautiful products!

    Excellent service and beautiful products!

    Magnifique Thangka ! Un excellent support pour ma pratique, cette thangka est très inspirante. Les dimensions impressionnante 2,40m x 1,60 donnent beaucoup force à l'ensemble !
    Service client au top et livraison super rapide ! Merci !

    It arrived today and exceeded all expectations. It's perfect!

    Quality brocade. Intricate design and mounted well. This silk weave has the heavier, sturdier, “rougher” feel to it than its smoother, shinier sibling.

    Personally, this experience has been a memorable one as I've got to learn from an actual thangka master and teacher himself. The entire three day experience has been nothing short of mesmerizing and sacred. If your intuition is calling you to pursue this, please do not pass off this special opportunity to learn from the one of the sources of authentic thangka painting for this experience is a heartwarming one.

    Amazingly beautiful brocade!

    very beautiful and made of quality material.

    Beautiful thangka...you did a good job, you have to see it to believe it.
    The delicate lines, the refreshing colors are just incredible. A thangka that represents us corresponds to the name of the refuge that a very GREAT master gave us

    Hi Neelam,
    Thank you for the email AND I apologize as the Thanka has not arrived yet! Looks like it is in Bahrain waiting to move or has already left Bahrain and is headed to SF. Will let you know when it is delivered!

    Beautiful, high-quality print, at a modest price, free and fast delivery. Kind of perfect, overall. Thank you!
