Description This 12-Armed Chakrasamvara Statue with consort Vajravarahi is a stunning representation of the Heruka. He is depicted seated on a sun-disc lotus seat, embracing his consort, Vajravarahi, in a dynamic dance. The statue is crafted using the lost wax method and features four faces and twelve hands, each holding auspicious symbols significant in Buddhism. Chakrasamvara is a central figure in the mother tantras, symbolizing the union of happiness and emptiness. He wears a tiger skin garment, embodying the essence of an ascetic yogi. The statue portrays him and his consort in a warrior pose, with the goddess Kalarati at his right foot, representing nirvana, and the male deity Bhairawa trapped under Chakrasamvara’s left foot, symbolizing samsara. Together, they illustrate the transcendence of both nirvana and samsara. The teachings of Chakrasamvara trace their origins to the early days of Tibetan Buddhism. The tantra associated with this statue is part of the mother class of Anuttarayoga Tantra within Vajrayana Buddhism. Chakrasamvara is also known as “Heruka,” and through visualizing oneself as this deity, devotees can attain mundane siddhis (accomplishments) such as flight, as well as supramundane siddhis (enlightenment).
