About Our Product

The Handmade Garuda Phurba Ritual Knife measures 26.5cm in height, 9.5cm in length, and 7cm in width, with a weight of 0.67 kg. Crafted from a copper body and finished with rich gold plating, this Tibetan Buddhist ritual dagger reflects sacred Himalayan artistry and ceremonial tradition.

At the top of the dagger stands Garuda, the mythical bird deity revered in Tibetan Buddhism as a symbol of protection, strength, and victory over negative forces. With outstretched wings and a commanding expression, Garuda represents the swift removal of obstacles and the overcoming of harmful energies, especially those associated with illness and spiritual disturbances. Beneath the deity, the intricately carved shaft features sacred motifs and symbolic elements, leading to the traditional three-sided blade that represents cutting through ignorance, attachment, and aversion. The gold plated copper surface enhances the fine detailing and sacred presence of this ritual knife.

This Garuda Phurba ritual dagger is ideal for Tibetan Buddhist altar decor, Vajrayana ceremonies, meditation rituals, and Himalayan spiritual collections. It serves as a meaningful symbol of protection, purification, and spiritual empowerment.

Introduction To The Phurba :

The ceremonial dagger (Sanskrit: Kila; Tibetan: phurba) is essential for expelling evil and is considered particularly effective in neutralizing the forces obstructing Tantric Buddhist practice. It has ancient origins, first appearing in the Indian Rig Veda as the core blade of the vajra used by Indra to destroy the primordial cosmic snake Vritra. Kila, derived from Sanskrit, was most likely associated with Vedic sacrifices. Meditation on the Vajrakila Tantra, an early Indian scripture first promoted in Tibet in the eighth century by Padmasambhava, one of the founding teachers of Tibetan Buddhism, is used to invoke the three-headed Vajrakila Buddha.
