  • guru rinpoche thangka

    Guru Rinpoche Thangka - Tibetan Tradition Buddhist Altar and Wall Art (
    $227.00)

    I recommend Shakya Handicraft to anyone looking for quality, service and expediency. After falling in love with this Thangka of none other than Guru Rimpoche online and selecting the brocade and have the Thangka blessed by the local monks in Nepal, I received the Thangka in Australia 10 days earlier than expected. The ongoing communication with Amogh was perfect and effortless.
    Now my house feels different with this wonderful and blessed piece of Tibetan Buddhist mastery.

    Thank you deeply with love and blessings. 🙏

  • Tibetan Meditation Lotus Mat

    Tibetan Meditation Lotus Mat Unique Buddhist Decor Ideas And Gifts (
    $297.00)

    Beautiful rug. High quality product. Delivery exceptional considering it was posted from Nepal. Amogh (shop owner) was very helpful and patient when I ordered this and was ready to answer my many questions. Buying on line from a supplier so far away may concern you but don’t worry. This shop is very reliable and products are high quality. I am already ordering again as can’t match price or quality in the U.K.

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.

Tibetan Singing Bowls

History of Singing Bowls

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.

Traits of Genuine Tibetan Bowl

According to the analysis of old bowls, it reveals that they were made from a variety of metal alloys consisting silver, gold, nickel, copper, zinc, antimony, tin, lead, cobalt, bismuth, arsenic, cadmium, and iron. One of the highest quality bowls are made of the combination of seven metals as described above. We are proud to introduce you the very same bowls that ancients used to make.Our Singing bowls are genuine high quality bowls made of seven metals. They are hand-hammered and hand-carved by Artisans from Nepal.

Types of Singing Bowls

There are mainly two types of singing bowls. One is Plain seven metal bowls and other is carved bowls. Sizes of these bowls can come in different size. 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. The sound of a singing bowl starts peacefully and builds up steadily. The prime idea is deep relaxation that provides you to connect with your inner self.

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.

Our silver jewelry is 100% authentic with real 925 silver used to make them.
