About The Ritual Item :
Phurba with Garuda Head is a sacred ritual dagger based on Himalayan and Tantric traditions. This powerful 22cm weapon depicts Garuda, the mythical bird deity who is said to destroy negativity and dispel evil. This handcrafted Phurba represents the cutting through of ignorance and illusion, and is an essential spiritual ally for Vajrayana Buddhists and Tibetan ritualists. The significant term, "Phurba with Garuda Head," ties this vital tool to its traditional use in meditation, space clearing, and protective ceremonies.
This Phurba was meticulously created from a harmonic blend of iron, copper, silver, and brass, demonstrating excellent craftsmanship and attention to symbolic detail.

The blade is traditionally triple-sided, representing the transmutation of the three poisons—ignorance, attachment, and aversion—to wisdom and compassion. Whether put on your altar or utilized during ritual practice, this Phurba is a potent spiritual instrument and a magnificent Himalayan item.
Introduction To The Phurba :
The ceremonial dagger (Sanskrit: Kila; Tibetan: phurba) is essential for expelling evil and is considered especially effective in neutralizing the forces obstructing Tantric Buddhist practice. It has ancient origins, first appearing in the Indian Rg Veda as the core blade of the vajra used by Indra to destroy the primordial cosmic snake Vritra. Kila, a peg or stake in 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.
