14″ Vajra Yogini Hand Carved Stone Statue!
These 2 statues are the new 14″ stone Vajra Yogini statues that are individually carved from stone. Although similar, no two pieces look the same. Very personal and unique. It is so beautifully carved. It can be for the home or in the garden to bless the environment/animals. Can even be invited to the home as a ‘decorative’ piece. Sacred art blesses all space, so it would be treasured to have.
One is with gold dust and Her features painted, and one is without. KSA (Kechara Saraswati Arts) painted Her face beautifully. Traditionally we paint Her face in gold to collect merits and make affinity. But keeping it in natural stone unpainted is more than fine.
I wanted to share with all of you who want something different and unique what is available in Kechara Paradise outlets. I have one of these in my bedroom right across from my bed.

2 Vajrayogini statues: one with her face painted and the other without
This sacred VY mandala is downloadable. It will be about the same size as you see here.
Kechara House always comes with many new ideas to make things easier for people in this current busy times to get blessings. So the two types of 14″ stone carved Vajra yogini would be ideal. One with face painted gold and the other unpainted stone carved. As what Rinpoche has explained it can be placed inside the home or in the garden. Both can give same blessings. I guess to those who want to also decorate their homes. The Vajra yogini with face painted gold would be very nice inside the home both as a decorative item and as a Buddha for blessing the home. The unpainted stone carved Vajra yogini would be ideal for the garden as stone can withstand sunshine and rain without damaging the statue.
These are beautiful. There’s something about Vajra Yogini’s face that very, VERY captivating. She really draws you in with her wrathfulness – whereas usually I’d be quite scared and taken aback.
I LOVE these statues! Very simple, yet immensely powerful.
It’s true that the statues are all different…looking at the photos closely Vajra Yogini’s face are facing in different directions. How I wish I had the skills to carve such statues..
Sssoo beautiful…. just looking at the image fills one with awe and ….just makes one so happy! So wonderful of the people who make all these images available.
The statues look brilliant. The touches of KSA’s attention to detail really makes them “pop”. Love the close up shot of Vajra Yogini’s face which is so alive. The whole use of the material and detailed painting gives it the “old world” look and feel which lends it that ‘precious’ feel to an already priceless image. Kudos to all that helped create this!
These Vajrayogini statues are really quite spectacular. I love how KSA have painted her face – the detail is absolutely stunning! KSA have very talented artists and I have had the privilege of attempting to paint there for a couple of days and it is NOT as easy as it looks! Total respect to the artists!
My 12 year old son, Sean, and I had the good fortune to volunteer at KSA and it is very much a lovely, warm place where families can spend real quality time together – and gain merits! What more can we ask for. You don’t have to be artistic – there are many options for volunteers – we can roll mantras, sand down the faces of the statues to get them ready for the gold paint etc. It’s very calming and relaxing. I’m going back there tomorrow!
The statues look enchanting and captivating whether with the face painted or not painted. These statues are now available at Kechara Paradise. Do drop by any of the outlets to receive blessings from Vajrayogini. Invite one home today!!!
BREATHLESSLY EXQUISITE & SUBLIME!
WOW! KSA and KD can really bring spiritual arts and craft to another level. I am so amazed at what they can do.
Yes, I agree with Sharon – painting these statues and especially their faces are not easy. It is a real test on your patience and focus. In particular, the smaller statues. You have to be so careful and delicate. So, I can just imagine the amount of effort, time and love it takes for KSA and its volunteers to do it all.
Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful statues with us, Rinpoche.
It’s really inspiring to see how Kechara’s arts department is coming into its own. I am so proud of them!
We really can! Malaysia Boleh!
Hi, I am Knut Eggers
I am interested to buy one of the Vadjrayogini stone Statues maybe with a golden face. therefore I would like to get an idea about the price of the statue with and without gold. Are there smaller ones available, too? I also would like to know the postage it takes to send it to germany, and the bank account to send the money to in case I decide I can right now afford it yet. I don’t have an exact idea about the size yet, I guess 1 inch is 2,5 cm?
Regards, Knut
Hi Knut,
I will forward your questions about these stone statues to the staff of Kechara Paradise, who will be able to attend to your request much better
Aren’t they lovely? Painting on statues is a practice for us, it helps to develop patience and be absolutely perfect in every stroke! I wish I have more time to really spend afternoons in KSA to paint! Image painting with light music, good company on holy statues, a BLISS!
Wow. Lovely statues. It would be nice at home or in the garden. Will visit Kechara Paradise soon to check out the latest products. Kudos to those who made these statues available to all.

I still do also love the stone statues… okay… and I love them both.
Stone statues are so grounding.
I would be interested indeed which kind of stone is used for these wonderful statues and in my selfishness would even LOVE to see a photo of the workshop where they are pruduced. This would mabe inspire me in my own creativity.
LOVE & HAPPINESS, Knut
These are indeed quite beautiful.
Of these, I prefer the unpainted version. Painting the face is quite a nice effect, but I find it distracting since Vajrayogini is supposed to be red. (It would work better for a deity whose face actually is gold, such as Sakyamuni.) I wonder what a red-painted version would look like?
Dear Rimpoche,
Thank you for your wonderful website, blog and dharma activities. Hope you will visit here in Ann Arbor, MI USA some day — there are many friends in Jewel Heart (Kyabje Gelek Rimpoche’s organization) eager to meet you face to face!
One quick question: What is your understanding of whether the Vajrayogini double triangular reality source should have the image of the yidam in its center or not? Or should the reality source (double triangular) have the BAM letter in its center? What is your understanding of what image is properly used for the self initiation materials? With all good wishes and many thanks for your commitment to dharma teachings, Elizabeth Hurwitz
Dear Elizabeth,
Thanks for visiting and learning. I have recorded a message for you. Please see here: http://blog.tsemtulku.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/students-friends/for-elizabeth-regarding-vajra-yogini-mandalas.html
Good luck always. You have my prayers and long life to His Eminence Kyabje Gelek Rinpoche. You and all the students are so fortunate to be with such qualified master such as H.E. Gelek Rinpoche. I rejoice so much from my heart.
Tsem Rinpoche
