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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nidhiratna ","offers":[{"title":"31cm X 24cm \/ 4.68kg","offer_id":50761784197366,"sku":"8220 CPQB","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/5141\/7846\/files\/front-view-citipati-statue-dancing-skeleton-lords-charnel-ground-tibetan-buddhist-art-copper-sculpture.jpg?v=1780997599","url":"https:\/\/nidhiratna.com\/products\/citipati-statue-dancing-lords-of-charnel-ground","provider":"Nidhiratna ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
