He sits gracefully in vajrāsana (diamond posture) on a lotus base, holding his consort in his arms while his hands rest in the dhyāna mudrā, the gesture of deep meditation. His consort holds two ritual items: a kapāla (skull cup), symbolizing transformation, and a kartikā (ritual flaying knife), representing the cutting through of ignorance and obstacles. This imagery emphasizes their union of wisdom and compassion in enlightened activity.
