He is often shown seated in a regal yet yogic posture, symbolizing mastery over both worldly and spiritual realms. In his right hand, he holds a vajra, representing indestructible wisdom that cuts through ignorance, while his left hand holds a skull cup containing the nectar of realization, symbolizing the transformation of defilements into enlightened awareness.
