Glorious Goddess Palden Lhamo Statue | Exceptional Nepalese Buddhist Craftsmanship

Handcrafted in Nepal, this Grand Palden Lhamo Statue is a striking representation of the fierce female Dharma protector. Made from copper using the lost-wax method, the sculpture is refined with multiple layers of gold fire-gilding. Standing 20 inches tall and weighing 11.8 kg, the statue showcases three-dimensional carving, from the pierced flaming halo to the ornamented jewelry, silk scarves and finely sculpted attendants. Delicate floral engravings, textured surfaces and carefully defined contours bring remarkable depth to the entire composition.

Depicted in her wrathful form, Palden Lhamo rides her mule across a symbolic sea of blood while accompanied by two fierce attendants who embody her protective power. Adorned with a crown of skulls and framed by blazing wisdom flames, conveys unwavering vigilance against obstacles to the Dharma. In her raised right hand she wields a khatvanga staff, while her left hand supports a skull cup. Resting upon a beautifully detailed base adorned with wave motifs and auspicious imagery, this magnificent altar piece serves as both a profound devotional object and a high-quality work of sacred art.

About Palden Lhamo

Palden Lhamo, the fierce protector goddess of Tibetan Buddhism, is often depicted riding a mule across a sea of blood, her dark, wrathful form adorned with flaming hair and wielding a skull cup, club, and a bag of diseases, symbolizing her power to destroy obstacles and safeguard the Dharma. She is accompanied by a retinue of attendant dakinis, including Makaravaktra (Makara-Faced Dakini) and Simhavaktra (Lion-Faced Dakini), who embody the transformative energy of enlightened wrath. Makaravaktra, with her monstrous sea-creature visage, cuts through karmic blockages, while Simhavaktra, roaring with a lion’s ferocity annihilates psychic disturbances. Together, these dakinis assist Palden Lhamo in subduing negativity, protecting practitioners, and ensuring the swift removal of obstacles on the path to enlightenment.
