Art & History of Buddha Statues

Amitabha Buddha

The skill required is preserved and passed down from generation to generation till today. It takes effort of many different kinds of artisans to accomplish it. Artisans specializing in making wax models to those who cover it in clay and go through the process of casting. And at the other end efforts and skill of carving artists, gold plating and painting artists have their own role significance. So, we are proud to preserve our Art and Culture and present to you the Buddha Statues we have been making for centuries.

The Art of making Buddha statues originates from Newar society of Nepal specially Lalitpur in the valley of Kathmandu. Since ancient times Newars specially Shakya Families are involved in the art of making the Buddha statues.

Making of Buddha Statues

Fine carving buddha statue

Making of a Buddha statue is a time consuming process that requires great skill and patience. Completing a Statue can take from 3 months to 6 months time. Our Buddha Statues are primarily made of copper. We use the method called “Lost Wax Method” for casting these Buddha Figurines. It is known as Lost Wax method as the original wax model is drained out by heat from the mold and is LOST into the form of metal. In our case copper.

Once the casting is completed then the statue is hand-carved into different Newar and Tibetan designs. After that it is either gold plated or left in copper finishing. Face is very integral part of the statues. It needs to be carefully carved and hand-painted as it needs to portray compassion. Check here to learn more about sculpting Buddha statue.

History of Tibetan Bowls goes back to the 8th century A.D. The singing bowls also known as Magic Bowls are considered to be a long lost forgotten art. The sound vibration of the singing bowl arouses cellular memory and permeates the sensation with the healing energy. Some of them also vibrate with certain altered brain states. The sound resonating from the singing bowl is very pure and potent in centering the mind and the body. The legends say that the secrets of sound coming from a singing bowl yield so much power that they must be kept hidden.

They can vary from 5cm in diameter to 45cm -60 cm and even 90 cm in diameter. Custom sizes can be as bigger as you need or want. There are two methods of playing singing bowls, either by rubbing a mallet around the rim or by striking the side of the bowls with the mallet. Both the methods produce quite distinctive sounds.

Important factor to keep in mind is the traditional Tibetan designs and symbols carved on the jewelry. The design should resemble Buddhist symbols and philosophy. Caution has to be taken in buying Tibetan Silver Jewelry. A scientific test done during the year 2007 revealed that the majority of the fraudulent so called Tibetan sterling silver jewelry do not consist of 925 silver but some-kind of other compounds even consisting of unhealthy lead compound which could even cause to skin cancer.These matters are prone to neural disorders, high blood pressure, fertility complications, psychological retardation, muscle and joint problems, hearing difficulties, kidney failures, and so on.
Our silver jewelry is 100% authentic with real 925 silver used to make them.
