H 28 cm (the shrine) H 26 cm (the censer) H 8,5 cm (the smallest figure) In Tibetan Buddhism all monks ('Lamas') hold a small &'dorje' in their right, 'male' hand during their daily ceremonies, and a bell on a handle ('ghanta') in their left, 'female' hand. Dorjes are also often held by cast statues of sacred gods. In larger sizes, up to several metres tall, dorjes are also positioned in front of temples or on altars as independent cult objects to be worshipped.
