About us

Mahabuddha Gyan Handicraft was established by Mr. Gyan Raj Shakya more than decades ago. This firm is now leading by his sons Mr. Amir Raj Shakya as Proprietor/Artist and Mr. Anil Raj Shakya as Artist/Manager. They have continuously designed and developed many kinds of handmade metal statues from the scratch level to promote and recognize Nepalese traditional art.

This firm is continuously producing high quality handmade metal statues to help preserve the tradition of making authentic crafts. It is not limited to produce handicraft statues for temples, stupa at Nepal, but also to international level as well.

The Firm delivers a large variety of handmade metal statues with high quality products rather than quantity. This firm’s main goal is to provide customer satisfaction, so all work is done based on taking care of customer viewpoints.

We are from the Shakya family who belong to Rudravarna Mahavihar and Mahabuddha temple. Rudravarna Mahavihar is older than 1400 years and Mahabuddha temple is about 500 years old. This temple was built by our elder generation named Pandit Abhaya Raj Shakya. This temple was modeled on the Mahabodhi Temple at Bodh Gaya, India and it is often called “the temple of a thousand Buddhas” because the Buddha image is engraved on every brick. It is also popular as 9000 buddhas and second Bodhgaya in the world.
