Ngawang Namgyal Copper Statue | Handcrafted In Nepal

This exclusive Ngawang Namgyal statue reflects the finest Nepalese artistry, handcrafted by master Newari artisans using lost-wax technique. Cast in solid copper and finished with layers of gold fire-gilding, it carries the hand-chased detailing and floral work that give its robes and crested lama hat true sculptural depth. Available exclusively at Nidhiratna, this piece offers more than decor; it is a living connection to Bhutan's spiritual legacy.

Revered as Zhabdrung Rinpoche, the founding father of Bhutan, Ngawang Namgyal is seated in meditation upon a lotus, his gold-painted face calm beneath a white beard and distinctive crested hat. His right hand forms the earth-touching mudra while his left holds a sacred vase, symbols of enlightenment and spiritual accomplishment. A graceful addition to any altar or collection, this statue invites devotion and a deeper bond with Buddhist tradition.

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