Introduction to the Yamantaka Statue

The Yamantaka statue is depicted in various forms, one of which is Yamantaka Ekavira, meaning "lone hero." He has a bull's or buffalo's head with long horns as the central feature, among many others. There are eight primary heads, with the Bodhisattva Manjushri's little crowned head at the pinnacle. Yamantaka is dressed in an elephant-skin robe, a garland of freshly cut human skulls, snakes, interwoven bone ornament bracelets, necklaces, and a girdle. Except for his adornments, he is naked. A flaming halo is behind him, and his erect phallus has a crimson tip. He wields a chopping knife (Kartika) in his primary hands, symbolizing his power to sever the root of illusion.

How do you take care of your statues?

• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is entirely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by a 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 objects with the bare hand can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
