Statue Care Guide
- Display with Care: Preserve your statue in a glass cabinet to protect it from dust, moisture, and accidental damage.
- Dusting: Use a soft, clean cotton cloth to gently wipe away dust. Avoid using rough or abrasive materials.
- Minimize Handling: Avoid touching gold-plated statues frequently, as natural oils from your skin can accelerate tarnishing.
- Do Not Scrub: Never use steel wool, metal-bristled brushes, or scrubbing pads. These can scratch and damage delicate surfaces.

About Kapala Cup
The Kapala, meaning "skull" in Sanskrit, is a revered ritual item in Tibetan Buddhism and Hindu Tantra, historically crafted from a human skull and used in esoteric practices to symbolize the impermanence of life and the transformation of delusions into wisdom. Originating in ancient India and adopted deeply into Tibetan Vajrayana rituals, it became a powerful vessel for wrathful deity offerings, particularly in Chöd practice, where practitioners visualize offering their ego to cut through attachment. Legend speaks of Machig Labdrön, the great female yogini who developed Chöd, using the Kapala to make visionary offerings to fierce deities, dissolving fear and ego through compassion. Today, modern Kapalas are ethically crafted from metal, often adorned with precious materials, continuing to serve as a sacred bridge between practitioner and deity, anchoring devotion in ritual depth and ancestral wisdom.
