KARTIKA

The Kartika, or Daikini Knife, is a small crescent-shaped ritual skinning knife used in tantric ceremonies in Vajrayana Buddhism. This essential attribute of wrathful tantric deities is often called the "knife of the dakinis". Its shape is similar to an Inuit woman's knife, used for various tasks, including cleaning hides.

In the spiritual practice of vajrayana, the kartika is usually held in the right hand of the dakinis. It is also associated with the Tibetan Buddhist practice of Chöd. The depiction of Vajrayogini often includes the kartika among its attributes, symbolizing the inseparable union of wisdom and skillful means.

The Tibetan Buddhist Kartika Pendant is more than just a piece of jewelry, it is a profound symbol of spirituality and protection. Wear it with pride and let its sacred meaning guide you on the path to wisdom and compassion.
