Yellow Jambhala: God of Wealth
Yellow Jambhala (also known as Dzambhala, Dzambala, Zambala, or Jambala) is revered as the God of Wealth and a key figure in the Jewel Family. Often associated with the Hindu deity Kubera, Jambhala is also considered an emanation of Avalokiteshvara (Chenrezig), the Bodhisattva of Compassion.
As a protector of all lineages and sentient beings, Jambhala helps eliminate poverty and create financial stability. His wrathful yet compassionate form is believed to protect from negative energies, misfortune, and obstacles, while increasing wealth, good fortune, and happiness.
Gold Painted Face
The face of this statue is meticulously hand-painted with gold, highlighting the intricate details of the eyes and lips—features that cannot be fully captured by metalwork alone. In Buddhist tradition, this sacred ritual of face painting brings vitality and spiritual presence to the statue. It is a mark of both devotion and craftsmanship, preparing the statue for consecration and practice.
Full Fire Gold Plating
This statue is finished with traditional mercury gold plating, also known as fire gold plating. This age-old Nepali method involves the application of a genuine layer of gold and is celebrated for its authenticity, longevity, and rich visual impact. Unlike electroplating, this technique ensures a deeper connection to heritage and craftsmanship.
Lost-Wax Casting Process
Crafted using the lost-wax casting method, this statue is the result of a highly detailed and labor-intensive process. Artisans first sculpt a wax model, which is then encased in layers of ceramic. After the wax is melted and drained, molten copper is poured into the cavity, creating a precise and detailed metal replica. Once cooled, the ceramic mold is removed to reveal the final sculpture. This process ensures a high level of detail and durability.
