Acala Vidyaraja (Acala Wisdom King) Tibetan Thangka Gawu Pendant Hand-Painted • Gilded Copper Gawu Box • Guardian for Rooster & Aries (33 × 43 mm)

Product Overview

This Acala Vidyaraja (Acala Wisdom King) Tibetan Thangka Gawu Pendant is a compact, fully hand-painted Vajrayana protective amulet, created to symbolize burning karmic obstacles and purifying the body and mind.

Unlike larger shrine-style Gawu pendants, this piece is designed for close-to-body wear, emphasizing immediate protection, focused determination, and fearless clarity. The front features a powerful wrathful visage of Acala Vidyaraja, while the back contains Seven Treasures glass beads, traditionally associated with stability, blessing, and continuity.

Encased in a gilded copper Gawu box, this pendant is especially suitable for daily wear or travel.

Acala Vidyaraja – Deity Meaning & Guardian Role

Acala Vidyaraja, also known as Fudo Myoo, is:

• The chief of the Five Wisdom Kings

• The command emanation of Vairocana Buddha

• A protector who subdues ignorance through unyielding compassion

He is revered as the guardian deity for those born under the Rooster (Chinese Zodiac) and Aries, symbolizing firm faith, fearless courage, and unwavering resolve—qualities especially relevant during times of pressure and transition.

Hand-Painted Iconography (Distinctive Features of This Artwork)

Front – Wrathful Face of Acala Vidyaraja

• Depicted as a close-up wrathful visage, emphasizing direct confrontation with obstacles

• Deep blue facial tone, symbolizing immovable wisdom and clarity

• Wide, penetrating eyes and bared teeth, expressing fierce compassion rather than anger

• Flame-shaped hair and crown elements, suggesting the burning away of ignorance

• The composition focuses on the face and upper presence, creating a strong talismanic impact suitable for amulet-style protection

This iconography differs from full-body depictions by concentrating the viewer’s attention on vigilance, resolve, and immediate protective force.

• The reverse side contains Seven Treasures glass beads, carefully placed within the Gawu

• Traditionally symbolizing:
