NAROPA
Naropa lived in India about 900 years ago. Naropa was a great learned man versed in Sutras, Tantras and many other ancient lores. During Naropa stay in the famous Nalanda monastery his intellectual accomplishment was foremost and without any match. But Naropa intellectual pride was humbled by an old lady who was an emanation of Vajrayogini. At that time, she also suggested him to consult Tilopa for the real understanding of Mahamudra.

Naropa searched for Tilopa exerting much effort. His arduous search and devotion to Tilopa has become a legend in itself. Naropa found Tilopa by the bank of a river. He was dressed like a mad man and was eating fish which was unusual for a holy man. Naropa underwent training under him for about twelve years and received the inner transmission of Mahamudra practice. Guru Naropa profound Mahamudra teachings was received by Tilopa directly from Buddha Vajradhara. Naropa is generally dressed in the white lower garments of a yogi. Naropa body is of an ash colour like that of a wandering mendicant. Naropa left hand holds a skull cup filled with nectar and his right hand shows varada mudra. Naropa sits in Lalitasana posture under an antilope mat. Naropa wears a meditation band on his waist.

Lost-Wax System
This NAROPA is made by the process of the Lost-Wax system. The lost-wax process, also known as investment casting, is a time-honored technique used to create metal sculptures. It involves several steps that have been practiced for thousands of years. Skilled artisans begin by sculpting a detailed wax model, capturing every intricate detail of the desired sculpture. The wax model is then coated with a ceramic shell, formed by multiple layers of ceramic material. Once the shell has cured, the wax is melted and drained out, leaving behind a cavity. Molten metal is poured into the cavity, creating a precise replica of the original wax model. After the metal has cooled and solidified, the ceramic shell is carefully removed, revealing the final metal sculpture.

Process of loss wax system
The lost-wax process offers exceptional quality control and customization, making it a preferred choice for artists seeking intricate and personalized metal artwork. Despite the availability of newer methods, the traditional lost-wax technique continues to be valued for its historical significance and the craftsmanship it embodies.

The method of metal casting in which 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 a few important steps in the 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 Spring.
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 (120°C) in an autoclave. This is why it is called "lost wax casting". The majority of the molten wax can then be regenerated and reusable.
