This magnificent statue of Vajrayogini Red Dakini is a potent symbol of the fiery feminine force found in Vajrayana Buddhism. Made of the copper body delicately embellished with triple layers of 24K gold gilding, deeply engraved carving, and intricate acrylic & gold paintings, and decorated with jewels, and elaborate paintings, it depicts the red body of Vajrayogini, a sign of passion turned into knowledge.
