A flaming halo blazes behind him, representing his wrathful energy that destroys obstacles and ignorance. Depicted in alidhasana, or trampling posture, he stands over negativity with unwavering force. Vajrapani is adorned with a five-skull crown, symbolizing the transformation of the five poisons into wisdom, and wears a snake-like robe that drapes from his neck to his stomach. A third eye on his forehead signifies awakened insight, while a tiger-skin cloth around his waist reflects his fearlessness and mastery over primal energy.

Vajrapani is a revered figure in both Buddhist and Hindu traditions, known as the protector of the Dharma and a guardian of the Buddha's teachings. Originating in India, Vajrapani is often depicted as a wrathful deity, wielding a vajra (thunderbolt) to symbolize indestructible power and the ability to overcome obstacles. As a Bodhisattva, he embodies strength, courage, and the protection of wisdom, and he is often shown as a fierce, wrathful figure that removes spiritual hindrances and protects practitioners from hostile forces. His role is essential in both exoteric and esoteric practices, where he helps safeguard the path to enlightenment.
