Introducing our stunning 12-inch Mahakala statue, a masterpiece crafted in the ancient city of Patan, Nepal. Weighing 4.2 kg, this exquisite creation boasts six intricately designed arms, all cast in copper as the base metal and luxuriously plated with gold. The face is adorned with a delicate touch of fine gold dust and acrylic paint, creating a mesmerizing and divine aura. Elevate your space with the spiritual charm of this hand-crafted treasure, a true testament to Nepalese artistry and tradition.

Mahakala, as a guardian deity, uses his six hands for important tasks. In one hand, he holds a skull cup to show he's overcoming evildoers, and in another, a curved knife to break ego attachment. These two together represent the strong connection between bliss and emptiness, symbolizing the union of method and wisdom. The other hands hold a damaru (a drum) and a skull rosary, symbolizing his ongoing work for the good of beings and his authority over Dakinis. The damaru's sound wakes us from ignorance. The trident in one hand shows his control over three realities, and the lasso in the remaining hand binds those who break oaths, restraining confused thoughts and destroying misconceptions
