☛ Kurukulla: Brief Introduction
Kurukulla, also known as Rigiyedma or Red Tara, is a revered yogini deity in Tibetan Buddhism, embodying enchantment, magnetism, and love. With her captivating form and vibrant red color, she represents the transformative power of attraction. Kurukulla’s multiple arms hold symbolic objects, including a bow and arrow, a noose, a flower, and a hook, symbolizing her ability to strike desires, bind aspirations, spread love, and captivate aspirations. Although specific temples dedicated to Kurukulla may be scarce in Nepal, her presence can be found in Tibetan Buddhist monasteries worldwide. Devotees practice Kurukulla to manifest their desires, transform challenges, and radiate love and positivity in their lives.

☛ Lost-Wax System
This Kurukulla is made by the process of the Lost-Wax system. The lost-wax process, also known as investment casting, is a time-honored technique used to create metal sculptures. It involves several steps that have been practiced for thousands of years. Skilled artisans begin by sculpting a detailed wax model, capturing every intricate detail of the desired sculpture. The wax model is then coated with a ceramic shell, formed by multiple layers of ceramic material. Once the shell has cured, the wax is melted and drained out, leaving behind a cavity. Molten metal is poured into the cavity, creating a precise replica of the original wax model. After the metal has cooled and solidified, the ceramic shell is carefully removed, revealing the final metal sculpture.

☛ About Color Finishing
The Kurukulla is adorned with traditional colors, creating a captivating aesthetic through a combination of gold and various hues. This painting technique follows a time-honored process that aims to faithfully represent the Kurukulla in accordance with traditional color descriptions. In the context of Buddhist statues, this approach holds great significance. Each statue has its own primary color, and it is crucial to depict the statue in its authentic shade.
