This magnificent sculpture of the Thousand-Armed, Multi-Faced Avalokiteshvara, the embodiment of infinite compassion, was masterfully created by Santa Kumar Shakya, a nationally certified artisan of Nepal. It is cast using the ancient lost-wax method, employing a refined alloy of red copper with trace amounts of precious metals, then hand-chiseled to perfection and finely polished, giving life to every fold, line, and symbol with remarkable clarity.
The statue features eleven serene faces rising one above the other, culminating in the sacred visage of Amitabha Buddha, symbolizing the embodiment of supreme wisdom. From its powerful form, one thousand arms radiate outward like rays of light, each hand revealing a sacred eye, representing awakened awareness and the boundless reach of compassion.
Behind Avalokiteshvara, a meticulously carved mandorla emanates energy and presence. In the multitude of hands, the Bodhisattva holds a variety of sacred ritual objects: a lotus flower, a wish-fulfilling jewel, crystal mala beads, and a nectar flask, each object expressing a distinct facet of enlightened activity.
The statue is robed in intricately patterned garments, flowing naturally and adorned with auspicious symbols, dragon motifs, and Buddhist emblems. The central hands are held in Anjali Mudra, a gesture of reverence and unity. Other hands hold a blooming lotus, prayer beads, and a bow and arrow, symbolizing compassion, mindfulness, and transformative intention.
This majestic figure stands atop a lotus pedestal, upheld by two powerful snow lions—carved with dynamic strength and spiritual grace. Surrounding the base are downward-blooming lotus petals, each carefully detailed, with larger petal designs at each throne corner. The lowest layer features swirling cloud motifs, which converge in the center to form a vajra, the sacred thunderbolt symbol of indestructible truth.
