Dorje Drolo Statue | Wrathful Guru Padmasambhava on Tigress

This handcrafted Dorje Drolo statue is made by Newari artisans in Nepal using the traditional lost-wax casting technique. It is cast in copper for a lasting alloy, then finished with detailed 3D hand carving and a layer of gold fire-gilding. The gold-painted face brings life to his wrathful gaze, making this Nepalese Buddhist statue a true example of authentic craftsmanship.

Dorje Drolo, the wrathful manifestation of Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava), stands triumphantly on a prowling tigress with finely engraved fur, surrounded by blazing halo. His fierce gaze and bared teeth represent the destruction of ego. He holds a Vajra in his raised right hand and a Phurba ritual dagger in his left piercing the three poisons at their root. Set on an elegantly carved lotus seat, this Dorje Drolo sculpture is a powerful addition to any home altar or Vajrayana collection.

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