Marici Devi & Bow-and-Arrow Thangka Pendant 18K Gold Double-Sided Hand-Painted Gawu Box – Rebgong Art (25 × 20 mm)

Product Overview

This Marici Devi & Bow-and-Arrow Thangka Pendant represents a powerful form of protective wisdom in action—the ability to move forward safely, decisively, and without unnecessary conflict.

Meticulously hand-painted on both sides with 18K gold and crafted in the Rebgong (Regong) sacred art tradition, this pendant unites the radiant presence of Marici Devi with her iconic bow-and-arrow symbol, expressing a Buddhist ideal:
obstacles are not confronted blindly, but resolved through clarity, precision, and insight.

Marici Devi – The Bodhisattva of Light and Protective Wisdom

Marici Devi, whose Sanskrit name means “Ray of Light,” is revered in Buddhist tradition as a protector Bodhisattva endowed with profound wisdom and extraordinary spiritual power.

She is traditionally associated with:

• Protection during travel and movement

• Avoidance of hidden dangers and conflicts

• Dissolving hostility, disputes, and harmful intentions

• Transforming confusion and ignorance through wisdom

Rather than relying on force alone, Marici Devi represents intelligent protection—guidance that helps practitioners avoid danger rather than collide with it.

The Bow and Arrow – Precision, Resolve, and Obstacle Removal

On the reverse side, the bow-and-arrow symbol appears as one of Marici Devi’s most distinctive ritual implements.

In Buddhist symbolism, the bow and arrow represent:

• Focused intention and decisive action

• The ability to strike obstacles at their source

• Protection through awareness rather than aggression

This symbol reflects the Buddhist principle of subduing obstacles with wisdom and compassion, where strength is guided by discernment and restraint.

A Unified Meaning: Protection Through Insightful Action

When Marici Devi and the bow-and-arrow symbol are presented together, they form a complete symbolic system:

• The Bodhisattva embodies protective awareness and enlightened vigilance

• The bow and arrow represent clear direction and timely action

Together, they express a path suited for those who face:

• Complex responsibilities

• High-pressure decisions

• Professional or legal challenges

• Frequent travel or transitional life stages
