About our Statue:
This Shakya Mahakala Handcrafted Statue captures the fierce and protective presence of Mahakala, one of Tibetan Buddhism’s most revered guardian deities. Standing 25cm tall and 19.5cm wide, this powerful sculpture is crafted from an oxidized copper body with refined silver plating and acrylic color detailing. Mahakala is honored across Himalayan traditions as the mighty defender of the Dharma, eliminating obstacles, dispelling negativity, and granting practitioners unwavering protection.
The statue features Mahakala in his wrathful form, surrounded by a dramatic aureole of swirling flames symbolizing the burning away of ignorance. His expressive face, adorned with intricate ornaments, conveys divine wrath—aimed not at beings, but at the impurities that hinder spiritual progress. The detailed carving of his bone jewelry, fierce posture, and ritual implements reflect traditional Tibetan iconography. Mahakala stands atop a symbolic figure, representing the subjugation of inner and outer obstacles. The oxidized copper finish gives depth and antiquity, while the silver-plated highlights bring contrast and brilliance to the sculpture’s sacred features.

His presence is believed to protect the practitioner’s environment, support spiritual clarity, and strengthen determination on the path.

Introduction To Mahakala :
Mahakala is the guardian god of Mahayana Buddhism and all Tibetan Buddhist schools. He represents various ways, each with its own features and characteristics. In some circumstances, he is seen as the emanation of distinct beings, such as Avalokitesvara or Chakrasamvara. The five kleshas (adverse ailments) are transmuted into the five pearls of wisdom, and Mahakala is typically represented with a crown of five skulls.
How do you take care of your statues?
• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by the 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 objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
