Introduction To  Macchindranath :

Both Hindu and Buddhist traditions hold Macchindranath, also called Matsyendranath, in high regard, especially in Nepal and the Himalayan areas. As the creator of Hatha Yoga and a revered yogic saint, he is seen as a manifestation of Lord Shiva in Hinduism and Avalokiteshvara (Bodhisattva of Compassion) in Buddhism. An important deity for rural populations, Macchindranath is revered as a bringer of rain and agricultural prosperity and is well-known for his profound spiritual teachings and close relationship with nature. The Rato Macchindranath Jatra, his yearly chariot festival, is a magnificent celebration of devotion, harmony, and cultural legacy that takes place in the Kathmandu Valley.

How do take care of your statues?

Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
Ensure that the area where your statue is placed is completely free of moisture and dust.
Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face.
Directly touching the bare hand with objects can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
