Marichi (Ozer Chenma) Statue | Finely Crafted Nepalese Buddhist Art

Invite divine radiance of dawn into your sacred space with this Marichi statue, a masterwork of traditional Nepalese metal casting. Hand shaped from pure copper, the sculpture is layered with layers of gold fire-gilding that brings warmth and depth to every fold of drapery and ornament. Artisans have polished each surface to a smooth finish, while the piercing eyes & painted brows are hand finished in acrylic colors, lending the goddess a lifelike presence. Her tiered crown, skull diadem and heavy earrings are worked with fine detail, a quiet testament to the patience.

Marichi, revered in Tibetan Buddhism as the Goddess of Dawn and Light, is shown seated upon double-lotus pedestal in royal ease radiating quiet command over darkness. She bears three heads, two fierce and wrathful and one in the form of a sow, a form that speaks to her power to cut through illusion from every direction at once. Her eight arms hold sacred attributes including the vajra, hook, lasso, arrow, bow and a branch of the Ashoka tree, each one a symbol of her protective action against negativity. Long invoked as a guardian of travelers and a source of clarity and courage, Marichi's light is said to dissolve fear before it takes root. Placed on a home altar or meditation room, this statue carries her luminous presence into daily life.

About Marichi

Marichi, also known as Marici, is a goddess and bodhisattva of light, wisdom, and protection, revered in both Hindu and Buddhist traditions. In Hinduism, she is honored as one of the Saptarishi, a divine sage embodying cosmic energy. In East Asian Buddhism, particularly in Japan, where she is called Marishiten, she serves as a powerful guardian deity of warriors, invoked for courage and victory. Marichi is traditionally depicted as a radiant multi-armed figure riding a chariot drawn by boars or horses, symbolizing the ability to dispel darkness, fear, and ignorance. Devotees worldwide honor her through mantras, rituals, and festivals, recognizing her as a source of spiritual clarity, fearless guidance, and the illuminating light of dawn.
