Barahi

Barahi is a Hindu goddess who is considered an incarnation of Lord Vishnu's boar avatar. In Hindu mythology, Barahi is believed to have helped Vishnu in his battle against the demon Hiranyaksha, who had stolen the earth and hidden it at the bottom of the ocean. Barahi took the form of a boar and plunged into the depths of the ocean to retrieve the earth, eventually triumphing over the demon and restoring balance to the universe.

In the Buddhist tradition, Barahi is also revered as a powerful deity who protects against negative energies and obstacles. She is often depicted with four hands, each holding a different symbolic object, such as a trident, a chopper, a noose, and a skull cup. Her fierce appearance and ability to overcome obstacles make her a popular deity for meditation and prayer.

This Barahi statue beautifully captures both the Hindu and Buddhist perspectives of the goddess. The intricate details of the statue showcase the unique features of Barahi, including her pig head and the symbolic objects in her hands. The statue is expertly crafted from high-quality materials, giving it a long-lasting and durable finish.

Whether for personal devotion or as a stunning addition to a collection of art, this Barahi statue is sure to inspire awe and reverence for the goddess and her significance in Hindu and Buddhist mythology.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.

24K Mercury Gilding

Applied with pure gold leaf and fused using fire gilding for an ethereal sheen that endures for generations.

Cold-Gold Face Painting

The sacred facial features and serene gaze of deities are carefully rendered with powdered cold gold and natural pigments.

Hand-Chiseled Detailing

Intricate robes, mandalas, and jewels are carved by hand with miniature steel chisels and devotion.
