Ashtamangala: Sacred Symbols of Auspiciousness and Enlightenment

The Ashtamangala is a revered set of Eight Auspicious Symbols deeply rooted in Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism. These symbols, often regarded as sacred attributes, serve as powerful tools for teachings and spiritual practice. Each symbol represents a distinct aspect of the enlightened mindstream, and they collectively embody key qualities such as wisdom, compassion, and prosperity.

The Ashtamangala suite includes symbols such as the Endless Knot, Lotus, Wheel of Dharma, and others, each with its own profound spiritual significance. These sacred signs not only adorn altars and meditation spaces but are also seen as powerful omens of well-being, fortune, and spiritual progress.

Partly Gold Plated Finish: A Symbol of Purity and Divinity

This Ashtamangala set features a partly gold-plated finish, a signature technique in Nepali handicrafts. Skilled artisans apply fire gold gilding, a process where a protective mask is used to shield specific areas, ensuring that only the intended parts of the set are covered in gold. The object is then subjected to high temperatures, allowing the gold to adhere beautifully to the exposed surfaces.

In Buddhist symbolism, the contrast between the gold-plated elements and oxidized or painted areas represents the divine purity of the body and the humble lifestyle of Buddhist monks. This distinction enhances the spiritual significance of the Ashtamangala, offering a visual separation between sacred and worldly aspects.

Full Silver Plated Finish: Elegance and Sophistication

The Ashtamangala is also fully silver-plated, a process that creates a luminous and refined appearance. Skilled artisans ensure that the silver plating is applied evenly and flawlessly, adding an extra layer of elegance and sophistication to this sacred set. The lustrous shine of silver further elevates the aesthetic beauty of the Ashtamangala, making it a perfect decorative piece for homes, temples, or meditation spaces.

Masterful Hammering Art: Traditional Nepali Craftsmanship

This Ashtamangala is a true masterpiece of Nepali craftsmanship. Created through the intricate hammering process, copper sheets are meticulously folded and shaped to form this stunning offering set. Nepali artisans, known for their unparalleled metalworking skills, blend traditional techniques with creative artistry to produce objects of exceptional beauty and spiritual meaning. This time-honored method of crafting adds both value and authenticity to each piece.
