Introduce a touch of mythological grandeur to your space with our pair of Cambodian Bronze Dvarpala Temple Guardian Statues. Cast in high-quality bronze, these statues represent the exquisite tradition of Cambodian craftsmanship. Each guardian, with the body of a stout man and the head of a lion-like creature, embodies a fascinating fusion of strength and nobility.
Both figures are depicted in a kneeling position, each holding a unique symbolic item, enhancing their protective symbolism. These details reflect the reverence accorded to Dvarpalas in Hindu mythology, where they serve as protectors of the gateways to temples, keeping evil spirits at bay and ensuring the sanctity of the divine spaces they guard.
The statues are bathed in a rich, dark green patina, further enriched by gold accents. These golden touches delicately highlight the base, the faces, the hair, and the necklaces of the guardians, adding an element of luxury and royal charm.
Not just decorative pieces, these Dvarpala statues are cultural touchstones of Hindu mythology and Cambodian art. Their commanding presence and intriguing symbolism make them a compelling addition to any decor or collection, fostering a sense of protection, history, and artistic expression.

Bronze is an extremely durable metal made from a combination of 5 metals; copper, iron, tin, with minute additions of silver and gold. This combination is called Panchaloha bronze and is the basis for making the sacred Hindu temple statues of India and the world. Copper is the most prevalent metal in the alloy. Copper also gives the metal a softer composition that allows the bronze artisans to carve the details that are prevalent in each piece.
All the South Indian bronze sculpture Lotus Sculpture carries are Panchaloham and thus suited for any home altar or community temple.
If you would like the piece to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the bronze statue.
Because of the durability of the metal not much is needed to maintain a bronze sculpture. Many of our customers purchase a bronze statue and perform daily puja and abhisheka consisting of bathing the Hindu deity in ghee, milk, coconut milk or other liquids. In this case nothing is needed to keep the statue clean as it will be bathed daily. If the sculpture is used for "darshan" or simply viewing the sculpture it is best to dust the statue as needed so no dirt collects in the details of the sculpture. For both polished golden bronzes and antique patina bronze statues if you would like the sculpture to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the piece as needed.
Many of our bronze Hindu statues have been placed in outdoor temples. Bronze's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine. Both indoors and outdoors a bronze statue can be left alone which, overtime, will give the bronze an antique patina.
On some bronze statues you can see small hints of lime green, verde-gris patina. Some people prize this color for its age others want to remove it. If you would like to remove the verde-gris use a tooth brush with some coconut oil or other natural oil and lightly go over the verde-gris. This should remove the unwanted patina from the sculpture.
