Kartika Vajra Dorje 11 x 8 cm
Kartika: The Crescent Knife of Spiritual Severance
The Kartika is a sacred ritual implement deeply rooted in Buddhist heritage. Shaped like a crescent knife, it symbolizes the severance of all material and worldly bonds, embodying liberation and enlightenment. Traditionally wielded by Mahakala, the fierce protector of dharma, and the Dakinis—feminine energies of wisdom—this tool is also associated with Dharmapalas (dharma protectors) and Yidams (meditational deities) like Yama and Yamantaka.
This beautifully handcrafted Kartika is made of solid brass, carefully crafted in Nepal by skilled artisans, embodying centuries-old techniques. Weighing 132 grams, it is both a powerful symbol and an exquisite piece of spiritual art. Perfect for altar displays, meditation rituals, or as a unique gift for those on a spiritual journey.
