Mandarava and Yeshe Tsogyal Statue Pair, Handcrafted 24K Gold Plated Copper with Genuine Coral Inlays, 50 cm

Product Overview

Handcrafted in Kathmandu, Nepal, this Mandarava and Yeshe Tsogyal statue pair features copper bodies with 24K gold plating and genuine coral inlay details. Designed as a sacred consort pair associated with Guru Rinpoche, the set brings a graceful and devotional presence to a shrine, altar, or meditation room.

Mandarava and Yeshe Tsogyal are revered in Vajrayana Buddhism as two of the principal female embodiments of enlightened qualities. Mandarava is associated with long life, blessing, and vitality, while Yeshe Tsogyal is honoured for wisdom, transmission, and awakened awareness. Displayed together, they create a balanced and harmonious sacred pairing.

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 (Kalash), 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 (Kapala), 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 wear elaborate crowns and ornaments accented with genuine coral inlay details. Their jewellery, flowing scarves, and richly decorated garments reinforce their sacred dignity and refined devotional presence.

Artisanal Excellence

This large pair reflects the strength of traditional Newar metalwork from the Kathmandu Valley. The smooth gold plated surfaces contrast beautifully with the dense hand chased engraving across the garments and bases. The genuine coral inlay details bring warmth, texture, and visual richness, while the calm facial expressions give the statues a serene and contemplative character.

Placement and Devotional Use

This pair is well suited for Buddhist altar display, shrine arrangement beside Guru Rinpoche, meditation and prayer spaces, collectors of Himalayan Buddhist art, and meaningful spiritual gifting.

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: Due to their significant weight (over 12 kg), place on a heavy-duty, highly stable flat surface to ensure the statues remain secure and upright.

• Handling: Lift securely from the heavy base using 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.
