① Product Overview
This Ucchusma Vajra (Ucchusma) Mini Thangka Gawu Pendant is a high-standard Buddhist devotional artwork, crafted and presented in a portable pendant format. The painting is fully hand-painted by a lama artist using natural mineral pigments, and set in a Dunhuang Nine-Color Deer sterling silver gawu case.

② Deity Introduction
Ucchusma Vajra (Sanskrit: Ucchusma) is a revered wrathful protector figure in Buddhist tradition, associated with the Buddha’s commanding activity. In traditional narratives, he is described as manifesting at the time of Shakyamuni Buddha’s parinirvana, taking a fierce form to uphold the Dharma and guide beings who are difficult to tame.
Although depicted with wrathful power, Ucchusma is understood to embody protection and compassionate discipline, expressing enlightened strength in service of the Buddhist path.
③ Spiritual Meaning & Practice Logic
Ucchusma Vajra is traditionally associated with purification and the removal of defilements—symbolizing the transformation of agitation and obscuration into clarity through disciplined practice. In Buddhist contexts, his imagery points to the importance of right intention, ethical grounding, and consistent cultivation, rather than seeking external guarantees.
He is also traditionally associated with safeguarding the Dharma and supporting practitioners in maintaining steadiness when facing obstacles—understood as a practice framework rooted in lineage, devotion, and personal commitment.
