The Dancing Chitipati Statue | Ritual Deity of Death and Rebirth | Divine Duo of Charnel Grounds

Experience the spiritual presence of our Skeleton Deity Chitipati Sculpture, a traditional Nepalese Buddhist art piece meticulously handcrafted using the lost wax technique which allows every intricate detail to be captured with precision. This sacred statue of Lords of the Cemetery features a radiant 24K Gold-gilded face, reflecting divine brilliance. Skilled craftsmen from Nepal have portrayed the deity in a dynamic dancing pose, with male and female skeletons joyfully raising their arms and holding sacred objects. Both figures wear the Five-Dry Skull Crown and display the third eye on their foreheads, holding a skullcup and a staff, and are adorned with flowing robes and lower silk cloths. 

The male figure stands gracefully on a conch while the female balances on a cowry shell, all surrounded by a blazing halo that highlights the statue’s spiritual energy. Devotees seek the Chitipati to invite protection and the removal of negative energies. Owning this statue encourages mindfulness of life’s impermanence. Standing 40.5cm tall with a width of 32.5cm and weighing 5.46kg, this intricately designed sculpture brings both artistic beauty and profound tantric symbolism into meditation rooms or shrines, making it a powerful companion for personal practice and devotion.

Cittipati

Cittipati, also known as the "Lord of the Dead" or "Guardians of the Charnel Grounds," is a significant deity in Tibetan Buddhism. According to legend, they originated from two meditating monks who were mistakenly beheaded and transformed into eternal protectors. Often depicted as a dancing skeletal couple, they symbolize the impermanence of life and the joyful liberation from the cycle of samsara. They embody the transformative power of wisdom, which dispels ignorance, serving as sacred reminders of mortality. Ultimately, they encourage practitioners to embrace the transient nature of existence and focus on their spiritual path.
