Product Overview

This Acala Vidyaraja (Acala Wisdom King) Double-Sided Tibetan Thangka Gawu Pendant is a fully hand-painted Vajrayana sacred artwork, created as a portable shrine for protection, purification, and inner stability.

The front features Acala Vidyaraja in his wrathful form, symbolizing the power to burn karmic obstacles and cleanse the body and mind. The back is meticulously hand-painted with a four-sided mandala, representing cosmic order, containment, and unwavering balance.

Encased in a gilded copper Gawu box, this piece follows traditional Himalayan practice, where sacred images are protected, carried, and revered rather than merely displayed.

• The chief of the Five Wisdom Kings

• The command emanation of Vairocana Buddha

Core Symbolism

He is traditionally regarded as the guardian deity for those born under the Rooster (Chinese Zodiac) and Aries, symbolizing courage, determination, and fearless resolve.
