Partly Gold Plated Bodhisattva Vajrasattva Statue

This statue is handmade in Nepal which has been made with perfection and has the most intricate and detailed carvings. The carvings and painting on the robe through out the lower part is extremely beautiful. This Vajrasatva, the sixth Dhyani Buddha, is regarded by Nepali Buddhists as the priest of the Five Dhyani Buddhas. He is not represented in the stupa like other Dhyani Buddhas but independent shrines are dedicated to his worship. This Dhyani Buddha wears all ornaments, rich dress, a crown (mukut) and is sealed with a crossed-vajra. He sits on a single lotus base, crossed legged in the meditative pose like other Dhyani Buddhas. He carries the vajra in his right hand with palm upwards against the chest and a ghanta (bell) in the left hand resting upon the left thigh.

The hand painting is done by our Artist Meenu Shakya. She has introduced an embossed painting where the flower and border of the robe is embossed using painting.

Vajrasattva, is the Bodhisattva of purification and represents the purity of awareness or ultimate reality. He is also called the primordial Buddha of all Mandalas.
