Mt. Everest

Mount Everest, also known as Sagarmatha in Nepali and Chomolungma in Tibetan, is the highest mountain in the world, with an elevation of 8,848 meters (29,029 feet). It is located in the Mahalangur Himal range of the Himalayas, on the border between Nepal and Tibet.

History: The first recorded attempt to climb Mount Everest was in 1921, and several expeditions followed in the following decades. The first successful ascent to the summit was made by Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa of Nepal, in 1953.

Culture: Mount Everest is located in the Khumbu region of Nepal, which is home to the Sherpa people, who have a rich cultural heritage and strong ties to the mountain. The Sherpas are known for their expertise in mountaineering and are often hired as guides and porters by climbers attempting to summit Everest.

People: Mount Everest attracts climbers and adventurers from all over the world, with thousands of people attempting to summit the mountain each year. The mountain is also an important pilgrimage site for Buddhists and Hindus, who view it as a sacred mountain.

Location: Mount Everest is located on the border between Nepal and Tibet, with the southern face of the mountain in Nepal and the northern face in Tibet. The nearest major city is Kathmandu, Nepal, which is about 160 kilometers (100 miles) from the mountain.

Legend: In Tibetan mythology, Mount Everest is believed to be the home of the goddess Miyo Langsangma, who is considered to be the protector of the mountain and the surrounding region. In Hindu mythology, Mount Everest is believed to be a part of the Himalayan mountain range, which is considered to be the abode of the gods.

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.
