Traditional Hand Crafted Guru Padmasambhava Art
We have exclusively painted the art of Guru Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, in the traditional Himalayan style. We are the artist of Kathmandu valley, whose artisan has passed through generations, sculpting an ancient Vajrayana sculpture. We have exquisitely adorned the lotus hat with precious gemstones and turquoise and embellished the ornaments with valuable jewels and corals. The design of the lotus and robe is mesmerizing, designed in the ancient form, which is highly remarkable. It took more than a month to sculpt the statue as we had to carve and deft in details in various significant essentials. We have elegantly depicted a deity on a moon disc lotus seat with a semi-wrathful expression, carrying a vajra in his right hand while he holds a vase in his left hand.

Guru Rinpoche was an instrumental figure in Tibetan Buddhism. In Tibetan Buddhism, Padmasambhava's teachings are said to have an oral lineage (kama) as well as a lineage of the hidden treasure texts (termas). He is said to appear in visionary encounters with tertöns, and his form is visualized during guru yoga practice, particularly in the Nyingma school. He is revered by Buddhists in Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, India's Himalayan states, and other countries around the world.
