Chenrezig is seated in the lotus position, symbolizing peace, tranquility, and spiritual awakening. Chenrezig is adorned with a crown. The crown signifies his status as a Bodhisattva. He is typically dressed in the attire of a Bodhisattva, including fine silks and jewelry, which symbolize his enlightened nature and compassionate activity.

One hand typically holds prayer beads, which Chenrezig uses to count the recitations of the mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum." It symbolizes the continuous practice of compassion.

Also, His hands are in the Anjali Mudra (prayer position) at the heart, symbolizing reverence and the potential for enlightenment within all beings.
