1. Religious Symbolism: The Buddha of Longevity

Amitayus (Tibetan: Tsepame) is the central figure of the Longevity Trinity, representing health, vitality, and spiritual abundance.

• Spiritual Purpose: Wearing this pendant aligns the wearer with Amitayus' energy, believed to extend lifespan, ward off obstacles, and accumulate merit for a purposeful life.

2. Craftsmanship: Bhaktapur’s Newari Legacy

Nepal’s Bhaktapur Valley is the world’s cradle of Thangka art. This piece is hand-painted by master artisans with over a decade of training.

• Tangcai Pigment Tradition: Colors are derived from Lapis Lazuli (wisdom), Cinnabar (vitality), and Pure Gold Leaf (enlightenment). These natural materials ensure the artwork remains vibrant for centuries.

   

• Iconometric Precision: Every proportion follows the Sadhana Mala texts, ensuring the Buddha’s form adheres to the 32 auspicious marks of enlightenment.

• Agate Burnishing: Gold lines are hand-polished with agate stones to create a divine radiance.

   

3. Innovation: Titanium Steel "Gau" Shrine

The traditional portable shrine box (Gau) is upgraded for modern durability:

• Airtight Protection: The titanium steel case is scratch-resistant and tarnish-free. Its sealed design shields the delicate thangka core from moisture and UV damage.
