Buddhist Deity Mahakala Bernagchen Copper Statue
We are the artisans of Nepal who crafted the Mahakala Bernagchen Copper Statue by hand, using exquisite pattern carvings. This statue is carved from an oxidized copper body. In the figurine, the deity is shown as having a wrathful facial expression yet radiating a sense of dharma's divine protection and terror. In his right hand, he holds the iconic vajra chopper representing the slicing of conflicting energies and emotions. On the other hand, he also possesses a skull cup overflowing with blood. All the attributes of the deity were hand-carved. The elaborate artistic patterns were hand-carved using a hammer and tiny chisels. Artists must have years of skill since delicate carvings require them to carve out elaborate designs on a small surface. He is required to complete every detail on the statue by the established iconography found in Buddhist texts. The figurine weighs about 26.77 kg, and it us months and months of hard work and dedication to complete the statue.

Mahakala is the guardian god of Mahayana Buddhism and all Tibetan Buddhist schools. He represents various ways, each with its 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 generally typically represented with a crown of five skulls.
