About Citipati

Citipati, also known as the "Lord of the Dead" or "Guardians of the Charnel Grounds," is a significant deity in Tibetan Buddhism. According to legend, they originated from two meditating monks who were mistakenly beheaded and transformed into eternal protectors. Often depicted as a dancing skeletal couple, they symbolize the impermanence of life and the joyful liberation from the cycle of samsara. They embody the transformative power of wisdom, which dispels ignorance, serving as sacred reminders of mortality. Ultimately, they encourage practitioners to embrace the transient nature of existence and focus on their spiritual path.

Consecration Process & Service

The statue includes a hollow chamber designed to hold rolled mantras, sacred relics, incense, herbal powders, and fragrant wood. During consecration, these are carefully filled and blessed through ritual prayers by qualified monks, making the statue spiritually complete and ready for your altar. A fee will be charged for this service, which is respectfully donated to the lamas performing the rituals.

Please note: Once consecrated, each statue becomes a sacred object and part of your spiritual journey. As such, it cannot be returned or refunded after this special blessing.

Statue Care Guide

Display with Care: Preserve your statue in a glass cabinet to protect it from dust, moisture, and accidental damage.
Dusting: Use a soft, clean cotton cloth to gently wipe away dust. Avoid using rough or abrasive materials.
Minimize Handling: Avoid touching gold-plated statues frequently, as natural oils from your skin can accelerate tarnishing.
Do Not Scrub: Never use steel wool, metal-bristled brushes, or scrubbing pads. These can scratch and damage delicate surfaces.

The beauty of spiritual transformation

Beautiful and powerful

Wonder

I have no words to express my amazement at this statue, the work of talented Nepalese artisans capable of inspiring devotion and open-mindedness even in people of Western culture like me.

The product was exactly as described. They had the statue comsecrated at Sechen Monastery in Nepal. It was well-
packed and arrived promptly. Excellent and courteous service.

One of these Statues will last your lifetime

Exquisitely Crafted Silver Mahakala – A Sacred Companion for Daily Practice

I recently purchased this Four-Armed Mahakala statue made of silver, and I’m extremely satisfied. Although small in size, it is crafted with astonishing precision. The quality is excellent, and it arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I also had it blessed with a traditional sun filling, which truly enhances its sacred presence. The design is thoughtful and functional, and I especially appreciate the careful packaging. With this statue enshrined, my daily sadhana practice has become more focused and meaningful. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

Just great

Absolutely stunning, great customer service and the packing is very thoughtful.

Despite concerns, it's a remarkable artifact—perfect for devotion and a stunning home centerpiece!

We purchased this handmade Chenrezig statue online earlier this year, and it is truly a masterpiece. The intricate detailing, radiant golden finish, and beautifully embedded turquoise and coral stones showcase exceptional craftsmanship. Its serene expression and symbolic posture embody tranquility and enlightenment, while the sturdy build and ornate base reflect authentic Nepalese artistry.

However, there are areas for improvement. The bottom plate covering the consecration items is difficult to conceal properly, causing some incense powder and crystal stones to fall out when we turned the statue over. Additionally, the detachable base and body could pose a challenge if we need to relocate the statue in the future.

Wow amazingly beautiful Statue 🙏

Recommendation to this business!

Hello everyone! I bought this statue 10 days ago, and it just arrived home safely. I live in Ecuador. The statue traveled from Katmandú to Quito and it was really fast, considering how long the distance is... The statue is just gorgeous, so much attention to details, such a big presence, and beautiful beyond comparisons and words... I´m deeply happy with it and I would love to recommend this web site and this family, because they do an amazing job! Thank you for the inspiration!

Highest quality of goods and service.

I have reccomended your website to many of my dharma friends for the very best quality of statue that you offer, the vast range to choose the perfect one for you, your reliability in sending the correct piece, quickly and always well packed. The pricing reflects all of this and is a little high, but for the quality of goods and service, and for the fact that a statue lasts lifetimes... for me it makes it a wonderful investment. Thank you.

Thank You

Shipping was very fast, even faster than expected, and the packaging was extremely careful: the statue arrived perfectly protected. I'm truly happy with this purchase. A wonderful piece, which in person conveys even more beauty and delicacy than the photos. Thank you!

The statue arrived in Switzerland via express delivery in an incredible three days, in a wooden crate secured with nails. It was thickly packaged, officially sealed, and included additional gifts. The artistic expression is beautiful and vibrant, which is especially rare for a small statue. The small colored beads are glued on and may fall off, but the important thing is the sturdy metalwork. Even without filling the crate, the bottom of the statue was securely sealed with a hammer and a copper disc. Everything demonstrates great care and dedication, and it will be a valuable aid to me. Thank you! 🙏

I purchased was much more beautiful in person than in the photos.

The Dharma Decor Usnisavijaya Namgyalma statue I purchased was much more beautiful in person than in the photos.
