Guru Dragpo is depicted with a fierce, wrathful expression—bulging eyes, bared fangs, and a gaping mouth. This terrifying visage is meant to subdue obstacles and negative forces. He is surrounded by a halo of flames, representing the burning away of ignorance and the transformative power of wisdom. Guru Dragpo wears a crown adorned with skulls and a garland of severed heads, signifying his mastery over death and the cycle of samsara. He wears a tiger skin around his waist and the flayed skin of an elephant over his shoulders, symbolizing the subjugation of primal instincts and ignorance. Guru Dragpo stands in a dynamic pose, often with one leg raised, trampling on figures that represent obstacles or self-cherishing, symbolizing the destruction of ego and ignorance.

Guru Dragpo (often transliterated as Guru Darkpo) is a wrathful manifestation of Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche), central to the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Every aspect of Guru Dragpo’s is intended to convey his role as a fierce protector and remover of obstacles on the path to enlightenment. The wrathful imagery is not meant to invoke fear, but rather to symbolize the swift and compassionate destruction of ignorance, negativity, and ego.
