Lost-Wax System
This Chakrasamvara of Chakrasamvara is made by the process of the Lost Wax system. This is a very complicated, time consuming and historic process of making metal sculptures.Which is why it is sometimes called Precision Casting as well. Hence the sculptures made by this process are comparatively expensive. There are many new, advanced and less time consuming methods of casting metal sculptures available as well. But due to the benefits provided by the traditional lost wax system in quality control and customization, we prefer the Loss wax system over Ceramic molding, or sand casting to make our Chakrasamvara.
Below we have tried to illustrate the process of making a loss wax system statue:

The method of metal casting in which a molten metal is poured into a mold that has been created by means of a wax model. Once the mold is made, the wax model is melted and drained away. Bronze statues come to life differently than marble statues. Instead of carving a block or marble, the bronze artist uses the lost-wax technique to make a series of molds, and then pours melted bronze into the final mold to create the sculpture. This method has been around since 4500 BCE.

There are few important steps in lost wax casting process :
Step 1: Sculpting ( It all starts in the studio with an idea, Then figuring out how to realize the vision in clay.)
Step 2: Mold Making.
Step 3: Wax Pouring.
Step 5: Wax Spruing.
Step 6: Shell Dipping.
Step 7: Bronze Pouring.

Interestingly enough Loss wax process is also called Investment casting because after layers have been formed and dried, the wax is melted out of the ceramic tree by using steam (120Â°C) in an autoclave. This is why it is called "lost wax casting". The majority of the molten wax which can then be regenerated and is reusable.

He wears a tiger skin loin cloth in the manner of an ascetic yogi and is adorned with both bone and jewelled ornaments and a garland of fifty freshly severed human heads. His forehead sports the third eye of wisdom and the expression on his face is a mixture of wrath and passion. Heruka embraces his red wisdom energy Vajravarahi who holds a curved knife in her right hand to cut off ego interferences and in her left behind Heruka's head she has a skull-cup symbolizing self regenerating blissful wisdom. Heruka's right leg stands on the back of the worldly deity wrathful Ishvara (also known as Bhairava), while his left leg tramples on the breast of Bhairava's consort Kalarati. this stance symbolizes the ability of Chakrasamvara to overcome the forces of ignorant hatred and desirous attachment respectively.

Bhavachakra] and eliminate all extreme views, while the 3-pointed spear pierces through the delusions of the 3 realms of existence.
