Originating in ancient India and deeply adopted into Tibetan Vajrayana rituals, it became a powerful vessel for wrathful deity offerings, particularly in Chöd practice, where practitioners visualize offering their ego to cut through attachment. Legend speaks of Machig Labdrön, the great female yogini who developed Chöd, using the Kapala to make visionary offerings to fierce deities, dissolving fear and ego through compassion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nidhiratna ","offers":[{"title":"23.5cm X 11cm \/ 2.18kg","offer_id":51251966279926,"sku":"701 RKS","price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/5141\/7846\/files\/kapala-set-from-nepal-with-gold-and-silver-plated-copper-tibetan-ritual-vessel.jpg?v=1783844030","url":"https:\/\/nidhiratna.com\/products\/kapala-set-buddhist-ritual-skull-cup-nepal","provider":"Nidhiratna ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
