He holds an upright vajra in his right hand, a symbol of unshakable truth and spiritual strength. His left hand is in the earth-touching gesture (bhūmisparśa mudrā), which represents the moment he called the Earth to witness his enlightenment.

Mitrugpa is invoked in rituals to purify the karmic imprints of the bardo (the intermediate state between death and rebirth) and is believed to protect beings from the suffering of lower realms. His practice is often emphasized in Tibetan Buddhism for its potency in granting liberation and fearlessness. Mitrugpa is sometimes linked with Akṣobhya Buddha, the embodiment of unshakable awareness, and represents the purification of anger and hatred, transforming them into mirror-like wisdom.
