Description
In Hindu Tantric literature, Ḍākinī is the name of a goddess often associated with one of the six chakras or the seven fundamental elements (dhātu) of the human body.
Dakini in Sanskrit, Khandro in Tibetan, literally means “sky dweller” or “sky dancer,” and is the most sacred aspect of the feminine principle in Tibetan Buddhism, embodying both humanity and divinity in feminine form.
Dakinis may appear differently in various contexts; when needed, she may appear as fierce and intense or playful and nurturing. At other times she may appear outrageous or repulsive in order to cut through conceptual thinking and mistaken perception. She may appear as a human being, as a goddess, either peaceful or wrathful, or she may be perceived as the general play of energy in the phenomenal world.
In general, the dakini represents the ever-changing flow of energy with which the yogic practitioner must work in order to become realized. Ultimately, all women are seen as some kind of dakini manifestation.
This high quality carving has taken months to chisel using only the ancient hand carving techniques of mastercraftsmen over a thousand years ago. The finaly product is then meticulously given a “patina” that resembles that of the antiques of yesteryear and is the finishing touch.
This timless craftsmanship and its techniqucs have been passed down for generations now through thorugh families over the centuries and which our team of talented artists still rely upon. We pride ourselves in being the only workshop in all of India who make these timeless artefacts using only hand held tools that were used in yesteryears and do not using any machines at all. Because of out unqiue and dedicated approach in reproducing these ancient aretfacts strictly using hand held tooks, we produce statues and sculptures that are completely faithful to the rare pieces you would find centuries ago.
