Mandarava and Yeshe Tsogyal Statue Pair, Guru Rinpoche Consorts, 24K Gold Plated Copper, 35 cm

Product Overview

Mandarava and Yeshe Tsogyal statue pair handcrafted in Kathmandu, Nepal, featuring 24K gold plated copper with detailed stone inlay. This sacred Guru Rinpoche consort set is ideal for altar display, meditation spaces, and Tibetan Buddhist practice.

These two revered Dakinis embody the union of longevity and supreme wisdom. Mandarava, the Indian princess, is associated with long life and vitality, while Yeshe Tsogyal, the Tibetan queen, is honoured as the Mother of Tibetan Buddhism and a master of hidden teachings. This matching pair is designed for placement beside Guru Rinpoche on a shrine, though it can also be displayed as a complete standalone devotional set.

Technical Specifications

Iconography and Deep Symbolism

• The Graceful Posture: Both Dakinis stand in an elegant tribhanga posture upon double lotus bases, with a gentle inward inclination that creates a harmonious paired composition beside Guru Rinpoche. Their poised stance expresses grace, devotion, and spiritual presence.

• Princess Mandarava (The Long-Life Dakini): Mandarava is shown holding a ritual vase, symbolising long life, blessed nectar, and the continuity of awakened vitality. Her raised open hand adds a sense of offering, serenity, and compassionate presence.

• Yeshe Tsogyal (The Wisdom Dakini): Yeshe Tsogyal is shown holding a shallow ritual cup, representing sacred offering, wisdom nectar, and awakened awareness. Her raised hand gesture expresses blessing, offering, and the transmission of spiritual teaching.

• Bodhisattva Ornaments: Both figures are richly adorned with finely detailed garments and ornate jewelry, including crowns, necklaces, and armbands inset with turquoise and coral colored accents. These refined ornaments emphasize their enlightened dignity and sacred status within Vajrayana Buddhist art.

Artisanal Excellence

This paired set is a triumph of traditional Newar metalwork. The most striking feature is the elaborate, hand-chased engraving covering their long skirts, demonstrating hours of precise, master-class artisanship. The combination of the heavily textured robes, the smooth 24K gold-plated skin, and the delicate gold-powder painted faces creates a striking visual contrast that emphasizes their enlightened presence.

Caring for Your Statue

• Placement: Keep in a clean, dry location, away from direct sunlight or extreme humidity, to preserve the gold-plated finish.

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the statue with clean, dry cotton. Do not use water, polishes, or any cleaning chemicals, as these may damage the gold plating and fine details. Coarse materials or rough handling could dull or scratch the surface.

• Stability: Place on a stable, flat surface to ensure the statue remains secure and upright.

• Handling: Lift from the base with both hands; avoid pressure on the delicate hands, implements, and faces.

• Storage: If not displayed, store wrapped in soft cloth in a dry place to reduce tarnish and surface marks.
