I visited the premises in Boudha in person. Its not just next to the stupa like many shops but a little way away and easy to find with Googlemaps - just ask locals when you get there as they didn't have an obvious sign, at least when I visited. They have modern studios, workshops and a salesroom all in the same buildng. Bipin was very helpful and I examined several bhavacakra thankas before settling for a beautifully detailed one. The brocade was added in a day or two and the final thanka was delivered to my hotel very carefully and robustly packaged. I was very happy with the thankas I bought and very happy with the service, Definitely recommended!

Tibetan Chinese Monk
About The Statue :
The monk's copper statue has a beautiful finish thanks to the hand-carved Oxidized Copper Body used in its construction. A practitioner like you will receive a priceless gift from Nepal in the form of this Tibetan art.
Introduction To The Monk :
Bhikku is derived from a verbal word that means "to beg." So, the defining attributes of a Buddhist monk or nun are their practice of poverty and detachment from the material world. Bhikkus were originally the nomadic disciples of the Buddha who left their homes and worldly occupations in order to meditate and apply the Buddha's teachings to their daily lives (6th century BC). Bhikkus typically lived in communities in forest retreats close to villages and cities; in exchange for sustenance, the monks educated the locals about Buddhist virtue (dhamma; Sanskrit: dharma). According to Buddhist sources, the Buddha first only allowed men to join the sangha, or community of monks but eventually allowed women to take vows as well. The female monastic order, however, has never been as substantial as the male one.
How do take care of your statues?
• Place them at room temperature, avoiding direct sunlight.
• Make sure that the area where your statue is placed is completely free of moisture and dust.
• Place it at the highest place on your altar after being consecrated by Lama/monks. The best practice is to keep them covered inside a glass cabinet.
• Do not use your bare hands or any objects with a rough surface to wipe the face. Directly touching with the bare hand objects can smudge the face, leaving scratches.
