About Our Statue :
This Chitipati Oxidized Brass Statue depicts the renowned dancing skeleton deities of Tibetan Buddhism, which represent the timeless reality of impermanence. This sculpture, measuring 18 cm in height and 16.5 cm in width, is carefully crafted from oxidized brass and weighs 1.24 kg. The dramatic pose of the skeleton man and female couple, dancing in joyful oneness, conveys profound mystical significance and is ideal for display on a Buddhist altar, in a meditation room, or as a symbolic art piece.
Chitipati, in Tibetan Buddhism, represents the Lord and Lady of the Cremation Grounds, guardian spirits who act as fierce defenders and reminders of life's transient nature. Despite their skeletal appearance, their dance is joyous, representing liberation from ego, attachment, and illusion. They are frequently associated with Vajrayana tantric ceremonies, but are also regarded as wrathful manifestations that protect the Dharma and spiritual practitioners.
Introduction to Chitipati :
A well-known deity in Tibetan Buddhism, particularly in the Vajrayana or Tantric tradition, is Chitipati, which is also called Citipati. Chitipati is frequently portrayed as a dancing skeletal figure and is known as the "Lord of the Cemetery" or the "Cemetery Guardian." This representation symbolizes life's impermanence and death's inevitability, central themes in Buddhist teachings.
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 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 with the bare hand objects can
smudge the face, leaving scratches.
