This statue depicts Vajrapani, the bodhisattva with the power of protection. He embodies the force of enlightened energy.
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.

Vajrapani
Vajrapāņi, the Bodhisattva of Power or Energy, is intimately connected with the Vajrayāna because the Vajrayāna sees everything in terms of energy. He takes the initiative in ceaselessly working for the good of all sentient beings. He embodies spiritual heroism, daring to face our own projected power, re-own it, and place it at the service of the Dharma.
The path of Vajrapāņi is one of overcoming fear. It is very much concerned with seeing the entire universe as consisting of energy and harnessing that energy for spiritual development. Vajrapāņi's path is one of activity, of taking the risk of trying to change, not of sitting back and grumbling about how things are. Vajrapāņi offers the prospect of seizing the vajra, of entering the spiritual battleground as a warrior, like a great warrior or a champion of Dharma.
In his peaceful form, he sits radiant, young, smiling, a vajra resting in his palm like a gift of clarity. In his wrathful form, he blazes like a wrathful tempest, crowned in skulls, garlanded in flames, his roar tearing through spiritual stagnation. Both aspects arise not in opposition but in unity, the stillness of absolute power and the fierce dance of compassionate protection.
