This statue depicts Vairocana, the cosmic Buddha at the center of the mandala. He embodies the universal nature of awakened mind.
At Arhatrupa, we take great care to ensure that each statue follows established iconographic forms and is crafted with respect for lineage-based symbolism.
Our intention is to offer works that may serve as visual references within ritual, contemplative, or devotional contexts, according to the practitioner’s own tradition and understanding.
This statue is handcrafted in Nepal using time-honored metal-casting traditions.
Artisans begin by sculpting a detailed wax model, which is encased in layers of clay and fired to create a mold.
Molten copper is then poured into the mold, and once cooled, the statue is carefully cleaned, hand-carved, and refined, reflecting craftsmanship passed down through generations of artisans.
A consecration service is available upon request and is performed by experienced Buddhist practitioners using traditional ritual methods.

Vairocana
Vairocana is one of the five great Buddhas who represent the five directions (east, south, west, north, and center) and the five elements in Buddhism (ether, fire, water, air, and earth). Vairocana is associated with the central direction and the element of ether, and is frequently depicted as a cosmic or universal Buddha, embodying the primordial nature of reality, in Buddhist art.Vairocana is considered to be the embodiment of dharmakaya, or the "body of truth," and represents the fundamental nature of all phenomena, free of all dualities and conceptual elaboration. Vairocana is frequently depicted seated in the lotus position, his right hand forming the mudra (gesture) of turning the Dharma wheel and his left hand holding a lotus flower or resting in his lap.Vairocana is regarded as the primordial Buddha in some Buddhist traditions, the source from which all other Buddhas and enlightened beings emerge. Other traditions regard Vairocana as a reincarnation of Amitabha Buddha or Shakyamuni Buddha, or as a deity associated with specific practices or teachings.Vairocana is revered in many Buddhist schools, including the Mahayana, Vajrayana, and Shingon traditions, and is frequently the focus of meditation and ritual practices aimed at understanding the nature of ultimate reality.
