Kapala Amulet

Chitipati: Guardians of Impermanence

The Chitipati, or the Lords of the Cemetery, are skeletal protectors often depicted in a joyful, fearsome dance. Despite their appearance, they are not deities of despair; instead, they serve as constant reminders of the cycle of life and death, encouraging practitioners to confront the realities of mortality and break free from ignorance and attachments. The dance of the Chitipati represents the celebration of life’s impermanence, helping one to embrace the transformative power of spiritual practice.
