About Our Product
This Wooden Bhairava Wall Hanging is an exclusive hand-carved sacred artwork created by artist Bikesh Shakya in 2025. Crafted from Champ wood (Michelia champaca), this large-scale sculpture presents a powerful representation of Bhairava, a revered wrathful manifestation associated with protection, transformation, and the removal of obstacles. The natural texture and warm tone of the wood enhance the depth of the carving, highlighting the intricate details of the deity’s expression, ornaments, surrounding motifs, and elaborate decorative frame. Every section of this artwork reflects the precision and traditional knowledge of Himalayan and Newar wood carving.
The figure portrays Bhairava with his distinctive three bulging eyes, symbolizing the vision of past, present, and future, as well as the sun, moon, and fire, representing supreme awareness and cosmic vision. His flaming hair, carved with dynamic rising forms, expresses the fierce purifying energy of time (Kala) and transformative enlightened power. The deity features a fanged, open mouth with prominent teeth, representing the force that overcomes negativity and protects sacred teachings. The elaborate crown and ornaments include skull and serpent motifs, symbolizing mastery over death, transformation of primal energies, and the overcoming of worldly limitations. Surrounding the face are finely carved serpents, circular ornaments, floral patterns, and detailed decorative elements that enhance the sacred appearance of the sculpture.
This Wooden Bhairava Wall Hanging by Bikesh Shakya is a unique collector’s piece suitable for spiritual spaces, shrine rooms, meditation areas, heritage collections, galleries, and collectors of Himalayan sacred art. The detailed hand carving, powerful iconography, and large-scale composition make it a remarkable representation of contemporary Nepalese wood craftsmanship while preserving traditional religious symbolism. Combining the sacred presence of Bhairava with the natural beauty of Champ wood, this artwork reflects the continuity of Nepal’s rich carving heritage and the skill of modern Newar artisan.
