It is believed to be a powerful aid in the path to enlightenment, as practitioners engage with the mandala's intricate details and symbolism, seeking to cultivate the qualities and energies represented by Chakrasambhara and the yoginis.

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.
