Invite the compassionate presence of the guardian of souls into your sacred space with this Ksitigarbha statue, an authentic Earth Store Bodhisattva sculpture handcrafted in Nepal. Skilled Newari artisans cast it in copper using lost-wax technique, then finished it with a chemically oxidized finish and 24K gold gilding. The gold-painted face is complemented by intricate floral motifs and sacred ornamental details that reflect exceptional Newari craftsmanship. This oxidized copper sculpture is a distinguished piece of Buddhist art, ideal for meditation spaces and devotional altars.

Ksitigarbha, revered as the Brahmin Maiden who vowed to guide all suffering beings toward liberation, is seated upon a double-lotus seat with a graceful expression. The bodhisattva is crowned with a shell diadem, adorned with earrings and celestial jewelry, and dressed in intricate lower garment. One hand is posed in varada mudra, the gesture of supreme generosity, while holding an utpala stem that blooms beside the shoulder, topped with a flaming jewel. The other hand holds a vase, completing an image of protection and fearless vow.

About Kshitigarbha

Kshitigarbha, known as the Bodhisattva of great compassion and vow, is a revered Buddhist deity who is believed to guide souls through suffering, especially in the afterlife and during times of hardship. Devotees turn to Ksitigarbha for protection, healing, and spiritual guidance, as he embodies the virtues of selflessness and boundless mercy.

His presence is especially powerful in altars, meditation spaces, and homes, offering peace, support, and karmic purification.
