Tilopa & Naropa – Buddhist Master & Mahasiddha Disciple Statue Set

Embark on the sacred journey of realization with this Tilopa & Naropa Statue Set, a profound representation of the Vajrayana Buddhist Mahamudra lineage where wisdom is transmitted from master to disciple. Handcrafted in Nepal by Newari artisans using the traditional lost wax technique, each sculpture is formed from copper alloy and elevated with gold fire-gilding. Together, these statues symbolize the living transmission of enlightened awareness, where Tilopa, the primordial Mahasiddha, and Naropa, his devoted disciple, embody the unfolding path from realization to liberation within the Kagyu tradition.

Tilopa is depicted with a powerful semi-wrathful expression, seated in deep yogic stability, holding a skull cup while forming the Abhaya Mudra. Naropa complements this presence as the realized scholar and yogi, seated upon an ornate pedestal draped with a symbolic deer skin. His sacred attributes, including the skull cup and fish, reflect tantric wisdom and awakened perception beyond duality. Intricate floral engravings, flowing scarf details, and cloud motifs enrich both figures, making this set a timeless spiritual centerpiece for meditation spaces and collectors of Himalayan Buddhist art.

Please note: The statue in the photograph is the actual piece for sale, ensuring authenticity and exclusivity.

About Tilopa and Naropa 

Tilopa and Naropa, two of the most revered Mahasiddhas in Tibetan Buddhism, hold a central place in the Kagyu lineage as teacher and disciple. Tilopa, the great Tantric master, imparted profound teachings, including the Six Yogas, to Naropa, who became his principal disciple and systematized these practices for future generations. This duo represents the essence of direct experience, rigorous meditation, and the transformative power of the tantric path, emphasizing realization beyond intellectual study. The Tilopa and Naropa statue set serves as a powerful symbol of spiritual lineage, devotion, and the continuity of esoteric wisdom. Together, they embody the enlightened energy of teacher and disciple, making this paired set a meaningful collectible and sacred presence for practitioners and devotees seeking guidance, clarity, and inspiration on the path to awakening.
