Buddhist Deity Vajrasattva Mudra Sculpture
In our studio, the Vajrasattva Mudra Sculpture was skillfully hand-made utilizing the ancient Himalayan art technique. The deity is depicted sitting on a lotus on top of a moon disc while holding a vajra in his right hand and a bell in his left. He had a contented look on his face. We are the current progenitors of a century-old Buddhist Himalayan art form that involves the creation of holy sculptures. We worked diligently for months to create this statue. Copper shapes the body, and 24K pure gold is used for gilding it. The statue is coated with acrylic paint and covered in valuable coral and stones for further embellishment.
This figurine of Vajrasattva will be a perfect gift from Nepal to a devotee like you that will aid you in your practices and regular activities such as meditation and yoga.

Vajrasattva is typically regarded as the second patriarch in the Shingon Buddhist lineage, the first being Vairocana Buddha. According to Kukai's writings in Record of the Dharma Transmission, Nagarjuna encountered Vajrasatva in an iron tower in southern India, based on Amoghavajra's testimony. As recounted in the Mahavairocana Sutra, Vajrasatva inducted Nagarjuna into the abhiseka ceremony and entrusted him with the esoteric teachings he had gained from Vairocana Buddha. Kukai doesn't go into detail on Vajrasatva or his beginnings.
