At Arhatrupa, we do our utmost to ensure that each statue follows established iconographic forms and is crafted with respect for lineage-based symbolism. If you notice any discrepancies, we kindly invite you to share your suggestions with us.
Our statues are 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.

About Sapu Mahakala
Within the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism, the principal
protector deity is Panjaranatha Mahākāla (Tibetan: Gur gyi mgon po).
While Mahākāla appears in dozens of forms across Buddhist traditions, this
specific manifestation is unique for his squat, dwarf-like stature and the
peculiar wooden staff he balances across his arms. Revered as the "Lord of
the Tent" or "Lord of the Pavilion," he serves as a dedicated
guardian of the Hevajra Tantra cycle and the esteemed Sakya lineage. Emerging
from the Vajra Panjara Tantra, he diligently safeguards the integrity and
wisdom of these profound teachings, inspiring us all to delve deeper into this
rich spiritual heritage.
Artistic depictions of Panjaranatha are often executed in
the nag thang (black scroll) style—gold outlines on a black
background—which is aesthetically suited to his wrathful, dark nature. In the
political and religious rivalries of Tibet, Panjaranatha was invoked as a
formidable force. Historical accounts mention sorcery wars where Sakya lamas
invoked Panjaranatha and the Four-Faced Mahākāla to repel magical attacks from
rival schools.
