Origin of Guhaysamajha.
It is said that Guhyasamāja Tantra was taught for the first time by the Shakyamuni Buddha himsself in the form of Vajradhara to Indrabhuti the King of Oddiyana
As with most Tantras, there are different traditions and transmissions. Perhaps the oldest surviving lineage is the Jñānapada Tradition , which goes late 8th century. The most important historically is the Noble Tradition which is based on commentaries attributed to Nāgārjuna, Āryadeva and Candrakīrti.

About Guhaysamaja Tantra
The Guhyasamāja Tantra (Sanskrit; Scripture of the Esoteric Community) is one of the most important scriptures of esoteric Buddhism. In its fullest form, it consists of seventeen chapters, though a separate "explanatory tantra" known as the Appendix Tantra (uttaratantra) is sometimes considered to be its eighteenth chapter. Many scholars believe that the original core of the work consisted of the first twelve chapters, with chapters thirteen to seventeen being added later as explanatory material.

In India, it was classified as a Yoga or Mahāyoga Tantra. In Tibet it is considered an Unexcelled Yoga Tantra (rnal 'byor bla med rgyud). It develops traditions found in earlier scriptures such as the Sarva-tathāgata-tattva-saṃgraha but is focused to a greater extent on the antinomian aspects characteristic of the later Buddhist Tantras. It survives in Sanskrit manuscripts and in Tibetan and Chinese translation.

Double-color Oxidized
The Guhyasamaja boasts a mesmerizing double-color oxidation finish, featuring a combination of darker and lighter shades of oxidation. This unique technique adds depth and complexity to the statue's appearance, creating a captivating visual effect. Through a meticulous oxidation process, certain areas of the Guhyasamaja are intentionally oxidized to achieve a darker shade, while other areas are oxidized to a lighter tone. This deliberate contrast between the two shades creates a dynamic interplay of colors, enhancing the contours and details of the statue. Read More

Lost-Wax System
This Guhyasamaja 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.
